What are Atmosphere and Gigapascal

Definition of Atmosphere

The standard atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa (Pascals). It represents the average atmospheric pressure at sea level at a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. This unit is commonly used in meteorology, aviation, and other sciences to describe atmospheric pressure.

Definition of Gigapascal

A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system and is equivalent to one billion pascals. It's a measure used in high-pressure science, such as materials research and earth sciences, to express extremely large pressures.
