Gravity is not a pressure.

The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Earth is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 .

Gravity can certainly produce pressure in a fluid, but the magnitude of the pressure

depends on what sort of substance the fluid comprises.

The pressure of the atmosphere ... due to gravity ... is about 14.6 pounds per

square inch.

The pressure has somewhat greater magnitude if the fluid happens to be water,

molasses, Mercury, etc.

Earth's gravity does not have a specific measurement in pounds per square inch. Gravity is typically measured in units of acceleration (m/s^2 or ft/s^2), which represents the force of gravity acting on a mass. The gravitational force on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s^2 or 32 ft/s^2.

There is no air pressure. Instead, individual air molecules are zipping around in the vacuum of space.
