Why do we not feel the enormous weight of the atmosphere
above our heads ?

Answer Posted / kanishka verma

because our body experiences the atmospheric pressure since
we born, so we never feel pressure on our head. also air
pressure is same from every point on our body,so we not feel
the enormous weight of the atmosphere
above our heads.
Example: a astronaut feel so heavy and pressure on his body
after returning from space, so that he is unable to walk
easly for few hour.(reference from discovery documentary)
