BUT IT SHOULD BE NOTED that this is the composition of DRY air. Water vapor can theoretically take up anywhere from almost 0 to nearly 7 percent of air volume (but it's never been measured that high). All other components are reduced proportionally.

What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
What is earth's lower atmosphere is kept warm by?
gases
Percentage of oxygen in earths lower atmosphere?
what atmosphere is 75 km away from earth
What extends from inside earths crust to the lower atmosphere?
Biosphere
The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat-absorbing gases is called?
The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat-absorbing gases is called the greenhouse effect. Water vapor and carbon dioxide are the two most important heat absorbing gases in the lower atmosphere.
How does solar radiation leave earths atmosphere?
It is radiated by many of the gases in the lower atmosphere.

What are the two main gases in the earth's lower atmosphere?
Nitrogen (which makes up about 78% of the atmosphere) and Oxygen (about 21%)
