The earths atmosphere is made up of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen
Oxygen and nitrogen were two dominant gases in Earth's second atmosphere. Oxygen levels were much lower than they are today, while nitrogen constituted a significant portion of the atmosphere even then.
No, nitrogen does not dilute the oxygen in Earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen and oxygen are the two main components of Earth's atmosphere, with nitrogen making up about 78% and oxygen about 21%. They coexist in the atmosphere without one diluting the other.
The ratio of nitrogen to oxygen in Earth's atmosphere is approximately 4:1. This means that nitrogen makes up about 78% and oxygen makes up about 21% of the gases in the air.
Oxygen and Nitrogen
Earth. 80% Nitrogen & 20% Oxygen.
Oxygen and nitrogen - 80% nitrogen and 19% oxygen. :)
The most abundant gases are nitrogen and oxygen in the Earth atmosphere.
It is none other than our own planet Earth, which has nitrogen and oxygen in its atmosphere.
Earths atmosphere is rich in Oxygen, some 21% of the air is Oxygen. There is oxygen on other planets, but the percentage comes nowhere close to this. The percentage of Oxygen in earths atmosphere is thought to have been much higher in the past, before animals were about, but after the arrival of plants.
The two major components of the earth's atmosphere are nitrogen and oxygen. There is also trace amounts of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and other gases.
Hydrogen and Nitrogen. Or oxygen and carbon dioxide, or carbon monoxide.
