These animations show the function of greenhouse gases and ozone, atmospheric pressure, temperature, and density.
Homers at Different Parks, University of Wisconsin (more info) : This fun Java applet shows how altitude at different ball parks impact the distance a batted fly ball travels. Pick from a variety of cities from a variety of altitudes. To see the animation, set the speed of the ball leaving the bat and the angle, in degrees, of the ball leaving the bat. Pressing "hit it" will produce a crack of the bat and a dotted arched trajectory will appear showing the path of the ball. The distance the ball traveled is recorded for comparative purposes.
