As a rule of thumb you can expect a drop of 0 0022 0 0023 lb cu ft 0 035 0 036 kg m per 1000 ft of altitude change.
Air temperature 10000 meters.
Altitude and air pressure.
For all practical calculations it is taken as two degrees celsius per 1000 ft.
Cabin temperatures in airplanes flying at this altitude are comfortable because of air conditioners rather than heaters.
The dry adiabatic lapse rate of the lower atmosphere relationship between temperature and height is about 10 celsius per 1000 meters.

To answer this question let s first examine a standard atmosphere.
Within the troposphere and amusing.
The air barometer pressure varies with altitude as shown in the table below.
If you change the air temperature humidity or the altitude and hence the pressure the air density will change too.
A standard atmosphere can be regarded as an average pressure temperature and air density for various altitudes.
Air thermophysical properties thermal properties of air density viscosity critical temperature and pressure triple point enthalpi and entropi thermal conductivity and diffusicity and more altitude above sea level and air pressure elevation above sea level in feet and meter with barometric and atmospheric pressure inches.
Molar mass of earth s air 0 0289644 kg mol earth s atmosphere due to the fact that earth s atmosphere experiences different rates of heating and cooling through each of its layers these equations help to model this through the use of the temperature lapse rate which is the rate at which temperature changes through altitude change.
In the actual atmosphere the rate of variation in temperature could be erratic.
The density of air varies with pressure the ideal gas law and the altitude above sea level mean absolute pressure at sea level is approximately 760 mmhg 101 325 kpa kn m 2 with a variation is about 5.
