Aerostatics

Aerostatics studies density allocation, especially in air. One of the applications of this is the barometric formula.

Fields of study include:

• The kinetic theory of gases
• Gas pressure
• Pressure measurement
• Gas density
• Gas diffusion in soil
• Partial pressures in gas mixtures
• Atmospheric pressure fluctuation
• Composition of mountain air
• Cross-section of the atmosphere

A balloon or airship, which uses the principles of aerostatics to float, is known as an aerostat.
