The total atmospheric pressure is the sum of the vapor pressures of all the materials in the atmosphere.

At pressures lower than the vapor pressure, more atoms or molecules of the liquid or solid vaporize and escape from the surface of the liquid or solid than are absorbed from the vapor, resulting in evaporation. At the vapor pressure the exchange is equal and there is no net evaporation. Also called evaporation pressure The pressure exerted by water vapor in the atmosphere.
