Here's a breakdown of the major gases in the atmosphere:
* Nitrogen (N2): Makes up about 78% of the atmosphere.
* Oxygen (O2): Makes up about 21% of the atmosphere. This is the gas we breathe.
* Argon (Ar): Makes up about 0.93% of the atmosphere.
* Carbon Dioxide (CO2): Makes up a small but significant portion (about 0.04%) of the atmosphere and is a major greenhouse gas.
* Other trace gases: These include neon, helium, methane, krypton, hydrogen, xenon, and ozone.
It's important to note that the composition of the atmosphere can vary slightly depending on location and altitude. For example, the concentration of carbon dioxide is higher in urban areas than in rural areas.
