The average density of a supermassive black hole (measured as the mass of the black hole divided by its Schwarzschild volume) can be very low, and may actually be lower than the density of air. This is because the Schwarzschild radius is directly proportional to mass, while density is inversely proportional to the volume. Since the volume of a spherical object (such as the event horizon of a non-rotating black hole) is directly proportional to the cube of the radius, and mass merely increases linearly, the volume increases at a greater rate than mass. Thus, average density decreases for increasingly larger radii of black holes (due to volume increasing much faster than mass).
Quote from wikipedia that explains it ok.

Earths atmosphere?
Only thing called air is earth's atmosphere. Hydrogen is a gas.

Incorrect.
For it to be a black hole, NO light escapes.
I wasn't talking about the light, escaping from the black hole itself, but from the gas orbiting around it, where the gravity is slightly weaker, making it possible for light to escape.
