We'll call the pressure on the top surface P1, and the pressure on the bottom surface P2. For a gas like the Earth's atmosphere, we typically have the density proportional to the pressure, so let's let the density ρ=KP, where K is a constant with units of s2 m−2.

Its structure consists of the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and ionosphere. Changing the composition of the atmosphere also influences the temperature. Atmospheric circulation (weather) is driven by seasonally changing deposition of sunlight. Many longer term climate variations, such as the ice ages, are related to changes i
