How many hectopascals are in a bar?
One bar equals 1,000 hectopascal.
Detailed answer
1 bar = 100,000 Pa and 1 hPa = 100 Pa, so 1 bar = 100,000 / 100 = 1,000 hPa. This is why millibar equals hPa on weather maps.
Relationship context
Meteorology uses hPa and millibar interchangeably; bar appears on industrial gauges.
