14.7 pounds.
Atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch
Keep in mind that unless air is trapped you do not feel this as pressure is equalized

What if your weight is less on the moon than it is on the Earth why so?
Weight is the gravitational force exerted on an object. Your mass is the same on earth and the moon or anywhere else. Your weight depends on the gravitational force exerted on your mass and hence on your location.
Is the earth square?
No. The Earth is round!
How many square inches are on earth?
The area of the Earth is approximately 7.9*1017 square inches.
Why passive earth pressure is greater than active earth pressure?
The passive earth pressure occurs when when a wall or plane moves towards earth. This will create additional pressure where as in the case of active pressure wall moves away from earth and it will reduce the pressure on the wall. From the co-efficient of active earthpressure and passive earthpressure,i.e Ka = 1-sin( phi)/1+sin( phi) Kp = 1+sin( phi)/1-sin( phi where phi is the angle of internal friction of soil.
Why is the earth square?
because of gravity.
Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere against the of the earth?
surface.
Atmospheric pressure as element of weather?
Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air or the pressure exerted onto the Earth by the air. Pressure changes can lead to different weather patterns.
Define atmospheric pressure?
Air pressure is the pressure exerted from the atmosphere
What is the amount of air pressure exerted at sea level on Earth per square inch?
300
Does Mars have extreme pressure?
The atmospheric pressure of Mars is 6 millibars as opposed to the 1,013 millibars of atmospheric pressure on Earth. Thus, its atmospheric pressure in relationship to Earth is extremely low.
What is Neptune's atmospheric pressure compared to earth's atmospheric pressure?
42% higher
Why is the atmospheric pressure is lower at the top of a mountain than in a valley?
Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface in the Earth's atmosphere. In most circumstances atmospheric pressure is closely approximated by the hydrostatic pressure caused by the weight of air above the measurement point. Low pressure areas have less atmospheric mass above their location, whereas high pressure areas have more atmospheric mass above their location. Similarly, as elevation increases there is less overlying atmospheric mass, so that pressure decreases with increasing elevation. A column of air one square inch in cross-section, measured from sea level to the top of the atmosphere, would weigh just over a stone (and a column one square centimetre in cross-section would weigh just over a kilogram).
How many more times is the atmospheric pressure in Jupiter's core greater than the atmospheric pressure at the earth's surface?
Earth's atmospheric pressure is measured as 1 bar. Jupiter's atmospheric pressure is 100 million bars. Therefore, it is 100 million times greater
What is Normal air pressure on earth?
Earth doesn't have one continuous, constant atmospheric pressure, it varies both spatialy and temporally. Assuming you're talking about the atmospheric pressure at the Earth's surface, the "standard" atmospheric pressure is 1000 millibars (mb), however pressures can range anywhere from ~875 mb (in intense low pressure areas such as the center of tropical cyclones) to ~1080mb.
What is air pressure on Earth?
The standard, or near-average, atmospheric pressure at sea level on the Earth is 1013.25 millibars, or about 14.7 pounds per square inch. It is less than half the pressure in automobile tires.
Pressure exerted by the air around us is called?
14.69 pounds per square inch (psi). 2,115.36 pounds per square foot. 19,038.24 pounds per square yard. 58,972,852,224 pounds per square mile. If you want to calculate the complete gravitational force of Earth, find the area (in square miles) and multiply it by 58,972,852,224. That will give you, in pounds, the complete gravitational force of Earth.
Why the higher the elevation the less atmosphere?
the atmospheric pressure can be considered as the pressure, exerted a columnna air over you, you imagine that this column goes from the limits of ammosfera to you, it's great right? the more we climbed the column of air is made smaller for at that the atmospheric pressure decreases.
