On the scale of a basketball, how thick, in cm, is a layer that represents 99% of the mass of Earth’s atmosphere? The diameter of a basketball is 23.9 cm.

The density of atmospheric air varies with elevation (2), decreasing with increasing altitude. a) Using the date given in Table 2, obtain a relation for the variation of density (p) with elevation (2). Assume the earth to be a perfect sphere with a radius (r) of 6377 km and the thickness of the atmosphere is 25 km as illustrated in Figure 1. b) Calculate the density of atmosphere air at an elevation of 7000 m. Atmosphere thickness = 25 km Earth radius, r= 6377 km www 6381 were 6382 Table 2: Density of atmosphere related to earth radius.
