The atmosphere is the layer around the earth, which is around 100 to 200km from the ground up. Worldwide, we use the International Standard Atmosphere which is a mean set of conditions which will be somewhat different depending on the weather conditions, location etc. This is a mean of the conditions at 45 degrees north latitude.
In aviation, we are mostly in environments of low air pressure. As we go further up in the air, the pressure goes down. This will have some effects on humans, where we could have hypoxia and barotrauma.
