- Atmosphere (unit) [r]: A unit of pressure measurement (symbol: atm) defined as 101,325 pascal. [e]
- Atmospheric lapse rate [r]: Refers to the change of an atmospheric variable with a change of altitude, the variable being temperature unless specified otherwise (such as pressure, density or humidity). [e]

- Earth's atmosphere [r]: An envelope of gas that surrounds the Earth and extends from the Earth's surface out thousands of kilometres, becoming increasingly thinner (less dense) with distance but always held in place by Earth's gravitational pull. [e]
- International System of Units [r]: Metric unit system based on the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole and candela. [e]
- Pascal (unit) [r]: The SI unit of pressure; the force of one newton acting uniformly over an area of one square metre. [e]
- Pressure [r]: A ratio equal to the force applied perpendicular to the surface of the area divided by that area (force/area). [e]
- Reference conditions of gas temperature and pressure [r]: The temperature and pressure conditions that define the density of a gas and serve to document a stated gas volume. [e]
