  1. at the surface of the Earth, the atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch


  2. What they said.

    And it's going to vary by both the barometric pressure, and your elevation above sea level.

    it's 14.7 at sea level with a barometer reading of 29.92.

    Higher elevation = less pressure.

    lower barometer reading = less pressure.

  3. A column of air 1 square inch in cross section, measured from sea level to the top of the atmosphere, would weigh approximately 14.7 lbf. A  m² ( sq ft) column of air would weigh about 100 kilonewtons (equivalent to a mass of 10.2 tonnes at the surface). Feeling squashed?

  4. Atmospheric pressure on anything at sea level is 14.7 psi.

    And pressure is in pounds per square inch, not pressure per square inch, which is meaningless.
