* Nitrogen (N2): 78.08%
* Oxygen (O2): 20.95%
* Argon (Ar): 0.93%
* Carbon Dioxide (CO2): 0.04%
* Other Gases: Less than 0.01% (including neon, helium, methane, krypton, hydrogen, xenon, and ozone)
Important Notes:
* Trace Gases: While small in percentage, the "Other Gases" category includes some very important gases like carbon dioxide, which plays a critical role in the greenhouse effect and climate change.
* Variability: The exact composition can vary slightly depending on factors like location, altitude, and pollution levels.
* Water Vapor: This is a highly variable component of the atmosphere. While it is typically present in small amounts, it can significantly influence weather and climate.
