Back home after his trip, he built this simple Temperature, Altitude and Pressure Display Device using a few off the shelf parts. Following a brief search, he zeroed in on the BMP 180 sensor ...

Many different factors affect the density of air. Most measurably, as altitude increases, air becomes less dense, decreasing atmospheric pressure. Standard altitude-pressure tables allow ...

like heart disease or high blood pressure, other concerns come to mind. While high altitudes can cause headaches and nausea, these usually occur in people who visit or live in high-altitude locations.

At this altitude the total air pressure is no longer sufficient to keep body fluids from boiling. - back to the top- Spacesuits for the space shuttle era are pressurized at 4.3 pounds per square ...
