1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing including an opening;
at least one sensor module disposed in an internal space of the housing to detect an external environment;
a first cover that is disposed in the housing to close the opening and comprises a first surface facing an outside and a second surface facing the internal space of the housing;
at least one air vent that is formed from the first surface to the second surface in at least some region of the first cover to connect the outside of the electronic device to the internal space and comprises:
a first space formed to have a specified depth in a direction starting from the first surface to the second surface;
a second space formed to have a specified depth in a direction starting from the second surface to the first surface, the second space being disposed to overlap the first space when the first surface is viewed from above;
at least one third space connecting the first space and the second space between the first space and the second space, the at least one third space being disposed at a position not overlapping the first space and the second space when the first surface is viewed from above; and
at least one protrusion projecting in a direction toward the at least one third space between the first space and the second space,
wherein the at least one protrusion is disposed to overlap the first space and the second space when the first surface is viewed from above;
a breathable waterproof member disposed to close the second space in the second surface;
a second cover disposed to cover the at least one air vent in the first surface of the first cover; and
an adhesive member disposed between the first cover and the second cover,
wherein the adhesive member includes a connection passage connecting the outside and the at least one air vent between the first cover and the second cover, and
wherein the at least one sensor module is disposed to detect the external environment through the second cover.
