  3. Vocabulary • Surface Pressure (bars or atmospheres) - This is the atmospheric pressure (the weight of the atmosphere per unit area) at the surface of the planet in bars or atmospheres. • Length of Day - The average time compared to Earth for the Sun to move from the noon position in the sky at a point on the equator back to the same position.
