Density = mass divided by volume. Mass is determined by the individual atoms or molecules and their compression (how close together they are). Compression is affected by external elements such as temperature and atmosphere. Temperature can increase or decrease density (hotter temps lead to decrease in density as atoms separate). Atmospheric pressure can also change the density (air is less dense the further you get from Earth/higher you go in the sky).
