(78%) Nitrogen, (21%) Oxygen, (0.9%) Argon,
water vapour present in atmosphere Composition of gases
(0.036%) Carbon dioxide, Helium

Hygro
actual amount of water vapour present in Tropospheric Ozone is bad for our environment
Absolute Humidity
atmosphere
Conduction - layer that’s near to Earth will
% of moisture present in atmosphere heat through conduction (also vertical)

E
compared to its full capacity
Relative Humidity Humidity

-gravity
Convection - Vertically transfer of heat after
temperature at which saturation occurs Dew Point Atmosphere heats up due to
conduction

moisture that forms as a result of Advection - Horizontal transfer of heat

Dew
condensation eg: loo is a result of advection
Stratosphere
Big particles Fog Condensation
no solid surface needed, water vapour
condenses around hygroscopic particles Water
