.. py:function:: get_altitude_at_pressure(pressure: float) -> float

   This method calculates the altitude from Pressure wrt to
   Sea level pressure as reference .Pressure is in Pascals

   H = 44330 * [1 - (P/p0)^(1/5.255) ]

   Where :
   H = altitude (m)
   P = measured pressure
   p0 = reference pressure at sea level 101325 Pa

   Examples:
   >>> get_altitude_at_pressure(pressure=100_000)
   105.47836610778828
   >>> get_altitude_at_pressure(pressure=101_325)
   0.0
   >>> get_altitude_at_pressure(pressure=80_000)
   1855.873388064995
   >>> get_altitude_at_pressure(pressure=201_325)
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     ...
   ValueError: Value Higher than Pressure at Sea Level !
   >>> get_altitude_at_pressure(pressure=-80_000)
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     ...
   ValueError: Atmospheric Pressure can not be negative !
