What are Petapascal and Atmosphere

Definition of Petapascal

A Petapascal (PPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI) equivalent to one quadrillion Pascals. Pascals represent the pressure exerted by a force of one Newton acting perpendicularly on an area of one square meter. Petapascal is an extremely high-pressure measurement, often used in scientific research to describe forces within the Earth or in material science under extreme conditions.

Definition of Atmosphere

An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as being precisely equal to the average atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth. This standard pressure is equivalent to 101,325 Pascals, or 1.01325 bar. It serves as a reference for describing the pressure of gases and liquids, and is widely used in various scientific disciplines, including meteorology, oceanography, and engineering.
