| The atmosphere is 120km high, but realistically, the density drops off to zero out there, so we can half that to get a reasonable number for a "dense" atmosphere. Assuming an atmosphere of uniform density and an altitude of 60km, what percentage of a square km is this? | The atmosphere is 120km high, but realistically, the density drops off to zero out there, so we can half that to get a reasonable number for a "dense" atmosphere.
