What gases make up Earth's air and in what percentages?

The earth's atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen is 78 percent of the atmosphere, while oxygen is 20 percent of the atmosphere. The remaining two percent is made up of Argon (0.9340%), Carbon dioxide (0.0397%), Neon (0.001818%), Helium (0.000524%), and Methane (0.000179%). The atmosphere also includes water vapor. It is less than 0.25% of the atmosphere as a whole, but may be between one and five percent in any given area.


What percent of the earth's atmosphere is ozone?

Over all the atmosphere, less than 0.0001%.


What is the main component of Mars' atmosphere?

Mars has an atmosphere, though it is different than our atmosphere here on Earth. The atmosphere of Mars is thin, cold, and dry and contains much less oxygen than the atmosphere of Earth. The oxygen content of the Martian atmosphere is only 0.13 percent, compared with 21 percent in Earth's atmosphere. Carbon dioxide makes up 95.3 percent of the gas in the atmosphere of Mars. It also contains nitrogen and argon and very small amounts of water and methane. Additionally, the atmospheric pressure on Mars is only about 1/100 that of Earth's!


What is the percent composition of gases that make up the Earth's atmosphere?

Earth's atmosphere is made up of 78-percent nitrogen, 21-percent oxygen, 0.93-percent argon, and 0.028-percent carbon dioxide. The earth's atmosphere is a very thin layer of these combined gases wrapped around the planet.


Where does the earths atmosphere stop?

If you travel some 12. 5 miles into the sky, you will leave roughly 99 percent of the atmosphere behind. At 30 miles up, the density of the atmosphere is roughly one million times less than at the surface.


What percentage are the rare gases in the air?

There are not a lot of noble gases that are in the atmosphere. It is estimated that about 2 percent of the atmosphere contains them.


Water vapor occupies about what percentage of the air's volume near the earth's surface?

At 86 degrees Fahrenheit, or 30 degrees Celsius, the percentage of the atmosphere comprised of water is about 4. 24 percent. Less than 1 percent of that water is NOT on the layer of the atmosphere closest to the earth.


What makes up from zero to four percent of the atmosphere?

You must be fishing for "water vapor". It varies a lot (the 'humidity'),but can be up to (not 'at least') about 4%.All other constituents of normal atmosphere are either much more ormuch less than than 4% .


What is the percent of helium in the air?

Helium comprises only the tiniest portion of the earth's atmosphere. It represents only about 5.24 parts per million by volume, which is about 0.000524% of the atmosphere. Use the link below to the Wikipedia post on what's in Earth's atmosphere. You might be surprised!
