{'atmospheric pressure': [2, 0, 5, 1], 'air density': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'atmosphere': [1, 1, 4, 7], 'approximate height': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'km': [0, 0, 2, 1]}

In this hypothetical scenario where air density remains constant as we go up in the atmosphere, we can calculate the approximate height of the atmosphere to have 1 atmospheric pressure.

Option 1: 4 km - This option suggests that the height of the atmosphere to have 1 atmospheric pressure is 4 km.

Option 2: 8 km - This option suggests that the height of the atmosphere to have 1 atmospheric pressure is 8 km.

Option 3: 40 km - This option suggests that the height of the atmosphere to have 1 atmospheric pressure is 40 km.

Option 4: 80 km - This option suggests that the height of the atmosphere to have 1 atmospheric pressure is 80 km.

The correct answer is option 2. According to this hypothetical scenario, the approximate height of the atmosphere to have 1 atmospheric pressure is 8 km.
