What are Torr and Atmosphere

Torr is a unit of pressure named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It's defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, which roughly equals the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg) at sea level at 0 degrees Celsius. One Torr is equivalent to 133.322368 pascals in the International System of Units (SI).

An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as the pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere at sea level. It is equivalent to the pressure of 760 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) at 0 degrees Celsius, 101325 pascals, or approximately 14.696 psi. This unit is commonly used in meteorology and for the measurement of atmospheric and barometric pressure.
