    This document outlines the gaseous composition of dry air by mole percent. It lists the main constituents as nitrogen (78.084%), oxygen (20.947%), and argon (0.934%) along with lesser amounts of carbon dioxide, neon, helium, methane, krypton, hydrogen, nitrous oxide, xenon, ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and ammonia listed in order of decreasing mole percent. Some constituents like ozone have trace amounts that vary by location.
