A gas pressure sensor includes a squeeze-film damping structure and a computing device. The squeeze-film damping structure includes a first object and a second object capable of moving relative to the first object. A squeeze-film damping phenomenon occurs between the first object and the second object. The computing device calculates an ambient pressure of the squeeze-film damping structure from a thermal noise generated in the second object.
