How could it be constant 1 atm all the way to the moon. Wouldn't having an atmosphere as thick as 240km mean the pressure on the surface would be much greater than 1 atm?
That is physically impossible, the point was to compare apples to apples. I.E. resolving 1 micrometer at 90 meters through 1atm vs resolving celestial objects through the same medium to compare light scattering effects.
