Episode notes
High altitude and high humidity make air less dense, thereby making the ball go farther. The atmospheric density on a planet is exponentially decaying. You can hit a gusher or you hit a particular area of high pressure or low pressure at any altitude. It also relates to why people in the Colorado Rockies baseball team hit more home runs on average.
