Density of air - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The density of air , ρ (Greek: rho) (air density), is the mass per unit volume of Earth's atmosphere, and is a useful value in aeronautics and other sciences. Air density decreases with increasing a...

Density - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. The symbol of density is ρ (the Greek letter rho). Mathematically: \rho = \frac{m}{V} \, where: \rho (rho) is the density...

The density of air under standard conditions is only 1.239 milligrams per cubic centimeter under standard conditions. Measuring the density is done by finding the mass of an evacuated glass sphere, letting the air back into the sphere, and finding the new mass.

But for gases, the density can vary over a wide range because the molecules are free to move. Air at the surface of the earth has a very different density than air 50 kilometers above the earth. An interactive simulator allows you to study how air density varies with altitude.
