Converting from Centimeter of Mercury (cmHg) to Atmosphere (atm) in Pressure

What is Centimeter of Mercury (cmHg)

Centimeter of Mercury (cmHg) is a unit of pressure commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure. It represents the height of a mercury column in a barometer in centimeters.

What is Atmosphere (atm)

Atmosphere (atm) is another unit of pressure used in various scientific and engineering applications. It is defined as the pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere at sea level.
