- The density of the atmosphere varies drastically with height, but you can use an average density from sea floor to the space in order to calculate its height. If we approximate this average density to be = 1 Kg/m³, what would be height of the atmosphere? HINT: Since the atmosphere is a fluid (in gas form), you can use the hydrostatic pressure formula (P pgh), just solve for h and use P = 1 atm.
