By considering P(h) = P(0) * exp(-(mgh/kT)) - (where P(h) is the pressure result of the equation; P(0) is the pressure at the "surface" of the planet; m is the mass of the molecule that is predominant in the atmosphere (in kg); g is the gravitational acceleration present on the planet; k is Boltzmann's constant; T is mean observed temperature (in Kelvin)) We can then analyse what height is needed for P(h) to be equal to 1/e of the surface value: the scale height h(0) = kT/mg for P(h) to be equal to 1/e, and by substituting in standard values, and assuming a predominantly hydrogen gas atmosphere, and using g=GM/r^2, we derive the result (that varies according to the different values of g, m, and T that you use): h(0)(Jupiter) = ~20km Have fun ;-)

How do you scale-up a drawing?
If you increase a shape by a scale factor of 2, you double the height and double the width. If you increase a shape by a scale factor of 3, you treble the height and treble the width. If you are interested in doing this mechanically, use a pantograph.
