At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 1,013 millibars (mb). With increasing altitude above Earth's surface, the weight of air above, and therefore the atmospheric pressure, diminishes. The atmosphere divides into four unequal layers based on temperature. 10 mb Tropopause 10 km / 6 mi 60° C / 76° F 50 mb Sea level 15° C / 59° F B 200 mb A © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 1000 mb
