What are Atmosphere and Inch

The atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as exactly 101,325 pascals (Pa). It is commonly used to represent the pressure of the air at sea level on Earth. This standard measurement is equivalent to the pressure exerted by a 760 mm column of mercury (Hg) at 0 degrees Celsius.

An inch is a unit of length in the (British) imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. It is defined as 1/12 of a foot, or exactly 2.54 centimeters. The inch is a standard unit of measurement commonly used in the United States, and to some extent in the United Kingdom and Canada.
