The Summer Factor: Temperature. Temperature also affects density altitude. When you heat the air, the air molecules have more energy. And, when they have more energy, they spread farther apart. (You probably learned this in high school chemistry class...). When the air is warmer than standard, it's less dense and performance decreases.
The number of air molecules above a surface determines air pressure. As the number of molecules increases, they exert more pressure on a surface and the total atmospheric pressure increases. By contrast, if the number of molecules decreases, so too does the air pressure. Today, air pressure is often measured with a mercury or aneroid barometer. A mercury barometer measures the height of a mercury column in a vertical glass tube. As air pressure changes, the height of the mercury column does as wellâit drops when pressure falls and rises when it increases.
