The pressure at the bottom of Earth’s atmosphere is about 100,000 N/m2. This means there is a force of 100,000 N acting on every square meter of
area! Your body has about 1.5 square meters of surface. Why aren’t you crushed by the atmosphere?
Very serious question.!

Re: Very serious question.!
Hi Unzumaki,
Is your question related to a K-12 science project? If so, what is your hypothesis? If not, then a different set of online forums will be better able to help. These particular forums are specifically for K-12 students, parents, and teachers who are working on science projects.
