 The development of the barometric formula makes use of a
number of concepts from kinetic theory, such as the ideal gas
law and the associated molecular constants. In the
exponential, the two terms have the units of energy. The
numerator mgh is gravitational potential energy and the term
kT is thermal energy. or say Ph = Po * EXP(-mgh

Ph/Po = e ^ -(mgh/kT)
or
- (mgh/kT) = ln (Ph/Po)
or

ln(Ph) = ln(Po) - (mgh/kT)

t in midair, the change in pressure associated with a small change in height can be found in terms of the
weight of the air.

n pressure depends on density, but ρ depends on the pressure as follows:
