The atmospheric pressure is highest at the Troposphere, which is the layer closest to the Earth's surface. Within the Troposphere, pressure decreases with altitude.
The atmospheric pressure on Venus is about 92 times greater than Earth's atmospheric pressure, equivalent to being about 900 meters underwater on Earth. The high pressure on Venus is due to the thick layer of carbon dioxide and other gases in its atmosphere.
In the case of bodies with substantial atmospheres, such as Earth's atmosphere, the exosphere is the uppermost layer, where the atmosphere thins out and merges with interplanetary space. It is located directly above the thermosphere.
The troposphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere with the highest air pressure. This is because the troposphere is the layer closest to the Earth's surface. As a result, the air is quite dense in the troposphere. As pressure is directly proportional to density, it means that the atmospheric pressure would be greatest in the troposphere.
This is called atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the weight of the air above a given point on Earth's surface.
The layer of Earth with 2.5 million atmospheres of pressure is the inner core. This region, located at the center of the Earth, is composed mainly of solid iron and nickel. The immense pressure is due to the weight of the overlying materials pressing down.
Stiffer mantle.
The pressure of 1.0 million atmospheres is inferred to be in the inner core of Earth. The inner core is a solid layer composed mostly of iron and nickel under extremely high pressure due to the surrounding layers of Earth exerting force on it.
Stiffer mantle.
Earth's mantle extends to a depth of 2890 km, making it the thickest layer of Earth. The pressure, at the bottom of the mantle, is ~140 GPa (1.4 Matm). 1.4 Matm = 1.4 million atmospheres = 1.4 million x 14.7 = 20.58 million lbs per square inch
The pressure in Earth's mantle can vary depending on depth, but on average it is estimated to be between 1.3 to 1.4 million times atmospheric pressure at sea level. This high pressure is generated by the weight of the overlying rock and the high temperatures in the mantle.
Planets are not a part of the earth's atmosphere. They orbit the sun as the earth does, at great distances from the earth. Several of them have atmospheres of their own.
The ozone layer protects us from the UV rays. These UV rays can cause harm to life on earth.

The solid layer of the Earth that can flow due to great heat and pressure is the asthenosphere. It is located beneath the lithosphere and is partially molten, allowing it to deform and flow over long periods of time. This flowing movement of the asthenosphere is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates.
