[glow=red,2,300]Earth's Atmosphere[/glow]
You need to know the proportions of the main gases in the atmosphere.
The Earth's atmosphere has remained much the same for the past 200 million years. The pie chart shows the proportions of the main gases in the atmosphere.
It is clear that the main gas is nitrogen. because Nitrogen makes up about 4/5 of Earth's Atmosphere. Nitrogen makes up 78% of the earth's Atmosphere exactly whilst Oxygen makes up only 21%
So Nitrogen and oxygen are about 99% of the atmosphere.
The remaining gases, such as carbon dioxide, water vapour and noble gases such as argon, are found in much smaller proportions.
