Density in Exponential Atmosphere Calculator

Property to Calculate:

Density of air at specified height (ρ):

Reference density (ρ₀):

Altidude above sea level (h):

Scale height (h_s):

How This Is Calculated

$$ \rho = \rho_0 e^{- \frac{h}{h_s}} $$ where:

ρ = Density of air at specified height (kg/m³)

ρ₀ = Reference density (kg/m³)

h = Altidude above sea level (m)

h_s = Scale height (m)

Assumptions

The atmosphere is isothermal.
Fluid behaves as an ideal gas.
No turbulence or mixing.
Scale height remains uniform.
