Aerostatics

Aerostatics is the study of gases that are not in motion. The corresponding study of gases in motion is aerodynamics. It is a subfield of fluid statics that focuses on gases.

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.
