Atmosphere and it's layers
Atmosphere Air is a mixture of different gases(oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, inert gases- helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), radon (Rn), oganesson (Og) etc, dust particles, and water vapour. The air contains the most nitrogen gas. Nitrogen gas is 78 percent in air. Similarly, oxygen gas is found in about 21 percent. Carbon dioxide(0.03), inert gases and other gases and water vapor are also found in the air. The earth is covered by a layer of air around it, called the atmosphere. The atmosphere consists of various gases, water vapor and dust particles. The nature of the atmosphere varies with altitude. As the altitude increases, so does the layer of the atmosphere decreases. The atmosphere is divided into the following five levels based on altitude: 1. Troposphere The lower troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere. It is about 16 kilometers above the earth's surface. At this level, gases,...
