1. Nitrogen (N2): The most abundant gas, making up about 78% of the atmosphere.
2. Oxygen (O2): Essential for respiration and making up about 21% of the atmosphere.
3. Argon (Ar): An inert gas, making up about 0.93% of the atmosphere.
4. Carbon Dioxide (CO2): A greenhouse gas, essential for plant life and making up about 0.04% of the atmosphere.
5. Neon (Ne): An inert gas, found in small amounts in the atmosphere.
6. Helium (He): An inert gas, found in trace amounts in the atmosphere.
7. Krypton (Kr): An inert gas, found in very small amounts in the atmosphere.
8. Xenon (Xe): An inert gas, found in extremely small amounts in the atmosphere.
9. Hydrogen (H2): A highly reactive gas, found in very small amounts in the atmosphere.
10. Methane (CH4): A potent greenhouse gas, found in trace amounts in the atmosphere.
11. Ozone (O3): A gas found in the stratosphere that protects us from harmful UV radiation.
Note: The concentrations of these gases can vary depending on location and time.
