I miss travelling especially on a plane. Here is some info on cabin pressure on a plane. Earth’s atmospheric pressure varies with altitude. At the Earth’s surface(sea level), It is measured at 14.7 pounds per square inch(P.S.I) – which human beings are accustomed to because it provides the optimum amount of Oxygen. As Aeroplane ascends to higher altitudes, the atmospheric… Read more →

The muscles of your child become tightened and sluggish, and children may have difficulty regulating your head‘s movement, sitting, and… Read more →
