Maximum constituent is nitrogen, by 78%. Then comes oxygen by 21%. Remaining 1% will be Argon(0.9%), carbondioxide(0.03%), water vapour, hydrogen, ozone, methane, carbon monoxide, neon, helium, krypton and even xenon
They are called sums of percentages!
percentages are used to tell the over all number
Add the 2 percentages together, then divide by 2.
Fractions are integers divided by integers. Percentages are the number of hundredths.
Most people work with percentages in one way or another.

To determine the empirical formula from percentages of elements in a compound, convert the percentages to grams, then to moles. Divide the moles of each element by the smallest number of moles to find the ratio of elements. Finally, write the empirical formula using the ratios as subscripts for each element.
Earths atmosphere is 78% nitrogen,21%oxygen,0.9% argon,and 0.03% carbon dioxide with very small percentages of other elements
Showing the amount of gases in the atmosphere as percentages of dry air allows for easy comparison and analysis of the composition of the atmosphere. Since the composition of dry air is relatively stable, expressing the gases as percentages of dry air helps to standardize the data for scientific purposes.

The sum of the percentages in the percentage composition of a substance is always 100%. This represents the total proportion of the elements that make up the substance.
The two elements that make up the greatest percentages by mass in Earth's crust are oxygen and silicon. Oxygen accounts for approximately 46% and silicon around 28% of the Earth's crust by weight.
To find the empirical formula from percentages, convert the percentages to grams, then divide the grams by the element's molar mass to find the moles. Finally, divide the moles by the smallest number of moles to get the ratio of elements in the compound, which represents the empirical formula.
It is called relative humidity and it is expressed in percentages.
