How does density of the atmosphere relate to air pressure?

Answer 1

Inversely

Temperature and density are related; colder air has a higher density than warm air. The combined gas law illustrates this relationship by showing that pressure increases with temperature (as demonstrated with a pressure cooker). Consequently, if cold air has a lower pressure and a higher density than warm air, then pressure is inversely proportional to density.

The density of the atmosphere is directly related to air pressure. As density increases, air molecules are packed more closely together, resulting in higher air pressure. Conversely, when density decreases, air pressure decreases accordingly. Therefore, areas with higher atmospheric density typically experience greater air pressure, while areas with lower atmospheric density experience lower air pressure.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
