What is the weight of Earth's atmosphere if the average pressure is 1.01 x 10 to the 5 n per m squared and Earth's radius is 6.37 x 10 to the 6m?

The idea is to calculate Earth's surface area, using the formula for the area of a sphere. Then multiply pressure times area, to get force. The weight of the atmosphere is simply the force with which it presses down upon Earth.

The pressure on Earths atmopphere is exerted over the entire surface of your hand
How many pounds per square inch is earths gravity?
Gravity is not a pressure.The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Earth is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 .Gravity can certainly produce pressure in a fluid, but the magnitude of the pressuredepends on what sort of substance the fluid comprises.The pressure of the atmosphere ... due to gravity ... is about 14.6 pounds persquare inch.The pressure has somewhat greater magnitude if the fluid happens to be water,molasses, mercury, etc.
Is gravity a variable?
Gravity is a constant not a variable. (stays constant at 9.8ms/s in earths atmosphere)
