What are Atmosphere and Inch

Definition of Atmosphere

An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure based on the average atmospheric pressure at sea level. It is equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 1-meter column of mercury at the Earth's surface at 0 degrees Celsius. One standard atmosphere equals 101,325 pascals or 14.696 psi.

Definition of Inch

An inch is a unit of length in the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. It is defined as 1/12th of a foot or 1/36th of a yard. Historically, an inch was also considered the equivalent of the width of a person's thumb. Today, it is standardized at exactly 25.4 millimeters.
