Pascal's Law involves the use of the word - "enclosed fluid".......so how can we apply Pascal's Law in the case of atmospheric pressure?

Well atmosphere is also enclosed by the range of gravitational force,so that air molecules until receiving escape velocity can't go out of the effects of gravity.

So,you can imagine a shell outside the earth's surface which is representing the limit of gravitational field,within which atmosphere is enclosed.

So,atmosphere is also becoming enclosed fluid.
