Pressure based on distance in layman terms.

[Axolotl2]

Atmospheric pressure at the center of a sphere is 100 kPa. Atmospheric pressure at the edge of the sphere is 0 kPa. The sphere is not trapping the gas inside.

Neglect gravity.

How do I calculate the distance? If there are any unknown variables making it unsolvable, then tell me them. forget it, I might as well just port the goonstation13 atmos script.

forget it, I'm solving this myself. It's not for physics homework, but a question for a mod I am making which requires atmospheric simulation.

Wait, so the pressure at the center is 100 while the pressure at the edge is 0. Wouldn't we have to know what kind of stuff is in the sphere to consider how dense it is?

I can see a way that you could calculate this but it's overly complicated and I don't know how to execute the math anyway.

It's an impossible system, if there is no force acting on the gas and keeping it concentrated in the middle, then all of the gas pressure would equalize

Axo, do you have any loving clue what you're talking about?

That's it, I am just going to look at the Goonstation source code and rip out its atmos system.
