What are Atmosphere and Centimeter

Definition of Atmosphere

An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as being precisely equal to 101325 pascals or 760 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). This standard measurement is typically used to represent atmospheric pressure and can be found in weather reports, aviation, and engineering calculations, where understanding the force exerted by the atmosphere is crucial.

Definition of Centimeter

A centimeter (cm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equivalent to one hundredth of a meter. It's widely used across the globe, particularly for everyday measurements. The centimeter represents a convenient scale for dimensions of objects ranging from furniture to clothing, as well as for maps and architectural plans to indicate lengths and distances.
