The pressure exerted by a column of height h, density ρ in acceleration due to gravity g
P = hρg
The atmospheric pressure at sea level = 1013.25 hPa = 101325 Pa
h = P/ρg = 101325 / 1.29 x 9.8 = 8 Km (approx)

But the actual height of atmosphere is several hundred kilometers, because both density and gravity decreases with altitude
