A planet of mass M and radius R is surrounded by a thin layer of atmosphere of height H and of constant density , having pressure P and temperature T . The atmosphere consists of ideal gas molecules of only one type, each of mass m with root-mean-square speed v_ rms . Taking acceleration due to gravity to be constant within the atmosphere, at height h H from the surface
