= What is low air density? = well, high or low are relative concepts. Normally the standard air density of the air is defined as the density of the air at 15ºC and at sea level pressure (standard conditions), what give a value of 1,225kg/m3. This way, we can talk about high or low air density related to the standard value. Air density depends on temperature and pressure. The colder the temperature the higher the density is, and the higher the height in the atmosphere the lower the density becomes. In the Everest peak, e.g., air density can be lower than 0,5. Meanwhile in the Antarctica (at sea level) the density could reach values higher than 1,5.
A gas of low density has the tendence to ascend.
Carbon dioxide is more dense than air.
yes
low pressure
The thermosphere has lower density than the layers below it but higher than the exosphere above it.The density of the Earth's atmosphere decreases nearly exponentially with altitude. At 400 km altitude the density is typically about 6g/m3 . This changes considerably when there is a solar storm.The air density is so low in this layer that most of the thermosphere is what we normally think of as outer space. In fact, the most common definition says that space begins at an altitude of 100 km (62 miles), slightly above the mesopause at the bottom of the thermosphere.
The density of the thermosphere is 57.00983461% oxygen, 16.58% carbon, and 26.41016538% nitrogen.

if it is high the density is high so if the temperature is low the density is low.
Because of the low density, molecules, particles and atoms, heat wouldn't be transmitted to your skin receptors.
Low density air rises, higher density air moves in to take its place.
yes
The air mass of the thermosphere about 15 cm. of air per inch!
Compared to liquids and solids, yes a very low density.
the air is very thin in the Thermosphere
As you go though the atmoshpere, the density of the air decreases. This means the gas molecules that make up the atmosphere are farther apart at high altitudes then they are at sea level. Noah Bazoo
