<onlyinclude>A '''standard atmosphere''', abbreviated ''atm'', is a unit of pressure that is equal to the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.</onlyinclude> It is equal to 101,325 [[pascal]]s,<ref>R. Serway and J. Jewett, "Pressure," in ''Physics for Scientists and Engineers'', 8th ed., Belmont, CA: Cengage Learning, 2010, ch.14, sec.1, pp. 405</ref> which is the [[SI]] unit of pressure. When scientists refer to [[STP]] (standard temperature and pressure), this refers to a set of conditions for a system, one of which is a pressure of 1 atm.

This is an important unit when referring to [[gas]]ses, as pressure is one of the determining factors of the volume of a gas.
