The above statement is False.
Atmospheric pressure is defined as the force per unit area exerted by the weight of the air above that surface. On the surface of our planet, atmospheric pressure is not insignificant. At sea level, the pressure is typically 14.7 pounds per square inch! That's like having a bowling ball press into every crevice of your body!
The correct statement would be, the force of atmospheric pressure is not negligible.
