The top 2 are nitrogen and oxygen.
If a star shows the same absorption lines as the sun in its spectrum, it indicates that the star has a similar composition to the sun. The presence of specific absorption lines is related to the elements present in the star's atmosphere, so matching lines suggest similar chemical composition.
The 700 mb level of the atmosphere is 10,000 feet in the air. This level is the second level used for measuring the atmosphere in the troposphere, so 1/5 of the atmosphere is located below it.
Yes, a majority of gamma rays are blocked by the Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere acts as a shield against the harmful effects of gamma rays by absorbing and scattering them. Only a small fraction of gamma rays from space can penetrate into Earth's atmosphere.
Oh, that's a lovely question you have there. You see, the fraction of methane in Neptune's atmosphere is actually a bit higher than in Uranus' atmosphere. But you know, both planets have unique beauty in their own way, don't they? It's like painting two different skies with different shades of blue - each with its own charm and magic.
Yes, they can. The color of the emitted light can be used to determine what the meteor is made of, since different elements heated to incandescence will glow different colors. It is similar to selecting the filling for a fireworks rocket; if you know what color you want, you can mix in the proper elements.The problem with doing this in practice is that the meteor generally heats to vaporization in a fraction of a second, and it is difficult to capture the spectrum of the meteor other than by sheer luck.However, most meteors are basically rock and iron; that's why they often glow with the same colors.
The question is not sufficiently specific. Where and over what period?
The approximate mole fraction of nitrogen in the atmosphere is about 0.7808, and the approximate mole fraction of oxygen is about 0.2095. When combined, the mole fraction of nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere is approximately 0.9903.
Percentage composition= (mass of the element/mass of the molecule)*100 The fraction of the molecule's mass that comes from the element's mass
Radioactive elements make up a small fraction of all naturally occurring elements in Earth's crust. Most elements are stable and non-radioactive. However, even though they are a minority, radioactive elements play important roles in various scientific, medical, and industrial applications.
Well the chocolate valley and whipped cream hills comprise about 53 percent...
It is a fraction in which one of the elements - usually the numerator - is 1.
About 1/5
1/3
Compostion Fraction by weight 1,000000 Atomic number 29.
The amount of water in the earth's atmosphere is 1/3000.
One element that is not a major element of the Earth's crust is gold. Gold is a precious metal that is considered rare in the Earth's crust, making up only a small fraction of its composition.
Earth's atmosphere is about 0.035% CO2. Since the atmosphere is just a thin layer of gas surrounding the earth, CO2 is a much, much smaller fraction of the earth itself.
