Composition of the

ATMOSPHERE
 ATMOSPHERE
Earth's atmosphere is composed of a mixture of gases, with the most
abundant ones being nitrogen and oxygen. Here's a breakdown of the
composition of Earth's atmosphere by volume:
 NITROGEN
Nitrogen makes up approximately 78.08% of
Earth's atmosphere. It is an essential component
for many biological processes and is relatively
inert.
 OXYGEN
Oxygen comprises roughly 20.95% of the
atmosphere. It is essential for the respiration of
most terrestrial organisms, including humans.
 ARGON
Argon is a noble gas and constitutes about
0.93% of the atmosphere. It is chemically inert
and is often used in various industrial
applications.

CARBON DIOXIDE
Carbon dioxide makes up approximately
0.04% of the atmosphere. It is a greenhouse
gas that plays a crucial role in regulating
Earth's temperature and is also vital for
photosynthesis in plants.

 NEON (NE), HELIUM (HE),
KRYPTON (KR), AND XENON (XE)
These noble gases together account for a tiny fraction of the atmosphere, with
concentrations ranging from a few parts per million to a few parts per billion.
 WATER VAPOR
Water vapor is a variable component of the
atmosphere, typically ranging from less than
Radiosonde 0.01% to around 4% by volume. Its concentration
varies depending on location, weather conditions,
and altitude.

TRACE GASES
Earth's atmosphere also contains trace amounts
of various other gases, including methane
(CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), ozone (O3), sulfur
dioxide (SO2), and more. These gases play
important roles in atmospheric chemistry,
climate, and weather. Meteorological

It's important to note that the composition of Earth's atmosphere can vary
slightly with altitude and location, and human activities have led to
changes in the concentrations of certain gases, particularly carbon
dioxide, due to the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. These
changes have significant implications for global climate and
environmental health.
