The density of air ?

(Greek: rho) (air density) is the mass per unit volume of

Earth's atmosphere. Air density, like air pressure, decreases with increasing
altitude. It also changes with variation in atmospheric pressure, temperature and
humidity. At 101.325 kPa (abs) and 15�C, air has a density of approximately 1.225
kg/m� (0.001225 g/cm�, 0.0023769 slug/(cu ft), 0.0765 lb/(cu ft)) according to ISA
(International Standard Atmosphere).

Specific weight is the ratio of the weight to the volume of a substance:

? = (m * g)/V = ? * g [2]

where
? = specific weight, units typically [N/m3] or [lbf/ft3]
m = mass, units typically [g] or [lb]
g = acceleration due to gravity, units typically [m/s2] and value on Earth usually
given as 9.80665 m/s2 or 32.17405 ft/s2
V = volume, units typically [cm3] or [ft3]
? = density, units typically [g/cm3] or [lb/ft3]

Tabulated values and density units conversion are given below the figures. At the
bottom of the page there are some examples of calculations using hot and cold air.
Air density is a property used in many branches of science, engineering, and
industry, including aeronautics;[1][2][3] gravimetric analysis;[4] the air-
conditioning[5] industry; atmospheric research and meteorology;[6][7][8]
agricultural engineering (modeling and tracking of Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere-
Transfer (SVAT) models);[9][10][11] and the engineering community that deals with
compressed air.[12]
