This document discusses the calculation of air density. It defines density and lists its units of measurement. It then provides details on the density of air at sea level, how it decreases with altitude and increases in temperature. It describes two methods for calculating air density: using the ideal gas law accounting for temperature and pressure, and using partial pressure accounting for humidity. Factors that affect air density are identified as altitude, temperature, pressure, humidity and composition. Applications of understanding air density are also outlined.
