Pa is a unit of pressure and is a shorthand note for Newton/sq.mtr. i.e if the pressure is one pascal, there is a force of 1 Newton on every square meter of surface.
Pa is a very small unit and that is why higher pressures are always denoted in kiloPascals or megaPascals.
Atmospheric pressure at mean sea level is about 101325 Pa.

1kPa=1000 Pascals
1 atm = 101325 Pascals = 760 mm Hg = 760 torr = 14.7 psi
