What does one newton per square meter represent?

It is the SI unit of pressure equal to one pascal, representing force applied perpendicular to a surface per unit area.

When should I use attopascal units?

Attopascal units are used to describe extremely low pressures, such as those in astrophysics, ultra-high vacuum systems, and theoretical physics.

Is the attopascal scale suitable for everyday pressure measurements?

No, it is mainly relevant for specialized scientific cases due to its extremely small magnitude.
