The Earth's atmosphere, which has a mass of more than 5.1 billion billion kilograms, puts considerable pressure on the planet's surface. Each square centimeter of the body accounts for about 1 kilogram of air pressure. However, people do not crush this pressure. Why?
According to Anthony Broccoli, a scientist from Ratger University, the air flows the entire human body, distributing his pressure evenly. This means that a person acts not only the power directed down, but the pressure is exerted from all sides. Due to this, our body does not feel harmful to this weight. Michael Wood from the University of Canisa adds that a person has evolved, adapting to atmospheric pressure. The internal pressure of the air in our body balances the external, creating harmony. This is one of the reasons why we function normally under the Earth's atmosphere.
If the air does not reach all sides of the body, for example, in the event of a sudden change in external pressure, discomfort may occur. This is most often felt during air travel when the pressure changes quickly and we hear "boys" in our ears. In open space, the pressure is almost zero. Without protecting the suits, the internal pressure of the body, without counteracting from the outside, would force the body to blow, which would lead to fatal consequences. That is why astronauts need space suites that create an artificial balance of pressure.
The Earth's atmosphere creates pressure, but due to the uniform distribution and internal balance of the human body, we do not feel it. Our ability to adapt to earthly conditions is the result of millions of years of evolution.
