Abstract
Atmospheric pressure or the barometric pressure is the pressure within the atmosphere of the earth and is defined as the force exerted by the air above, over the surface of the earth, as the gravity pulls it. Atmospheric pressure acts as an indicator of weather and is an important parameter in determining crop activity. Barometric pressure changes with change in altitude and is measured by an instrument called Barometer. In this chapter, various other topics have also been incorporated that are affected by atmospheric pressure such as solar radiation, depletion of solar radiation, thermal radiation, and net radiation.
