dc.description	This report focuses on demonstrating the approach of hydrostatic equilibrium in modeling the neutral atmosphere and ionization intensity. We showed how the altitude variations of the neutral density can be described; altitude and density at maximum ion production and optical depth of the atmosphere can be modeled using hydrostatic equilibrium. Moreover MSIS-E-90 atmospheric model results are employed for comparison purposes to see the trends of outputs of the hydrostatic approximations. As a result, we came to conclude that hydrostatic approximations could be useful at least to explain the theoretical science behind the Earth’s atmosphere.
