In this project, a Python script computes atmospheric properties at a known altitude. The user is prompted to enter a numeric value for the altitude in feet; and after input is accepted, the program returns the atmospheric region along with other informational data.

Within the source code, uses of functions, control of execution flow, and exception handling contribute to the code's organization and flexibility. Standard atmospheric values are assumed throughout the model, and are not representative of Earth’s atmosphere in extreme weather conditions. Therefore, the script assumes perfect weather conditions, and results are only approximations.

The script will throw an exception if the user enters an altitude in the thermosphere or beyond. The code is developed with this limitation because the temperature is never the same in any given region in the thermosphere. In addition to this, the program can only accept numeric data types, and will throw an exception if the user enters text. These components ensure all results are reliable.
