What is the scale height of Earth's atmosphere if you assume it is all nitrogen molecules and take the temperature to be 300 K?  This is of course a rough estimate, but with it describe what happens to the atmosphere the farther out it is from Earth's surface. Is the definition of the edge of space at 100 km reasonable?
