Dry air density depends on pressure and temperature (ideal gas law).

The math behind it

ρ = pressure ÷ (specific gas constant 287.05 × temperature in kelvin).

Worked Example

101,325 Pa, 15 °C → 1.225 kg/m³.

Frequently Asked Questions

Altitude?

Lower pressure aloft means thinner (less dense) air.
