What percentage of the air around us is oxygen?
The percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere is 20.75%. The atmosphere has many other elements that we breathe in besides oxygen. Oxygen needs to be present for life on earth.
How does the percentage of carbon dioxide and oxygen stay roughly the same in your atmosphere?
It is because plants take in carbon dioxide and breathe out Oxygen whereas, man and animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. This cycle of life maintaines a roughly same percentage of O2 and CO2 in the atmosphere.
What percentage of the air you breathe oxygen?
about 21%
What is the approximate percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere?

Why is it harder to breathe he higher you go?
Because - the higher up the atmosphere you go - the less oxygen is in the air you breathe. Our bodies need a certain percentage of the air we breathe to be Oxygen - reduce the amount of oxygen in each breath, and it soon affects the body.
What percentage do you breath out oxygen?
You breathe out 16.3% oxygen.
Why dont animals use up all the oxygen in the atmosphere?
Animals do not use up all the oxygen in the atmosphere because plants produce oxygen. When they breathe, plants inhale carbon dioxide (which is what animals breathe out) and exhale oxygen (which is what animals breathe in).
Can you breathe in the solar system?
you can on earth but you would have to wear a astronaut suit with oxygen to breathe because there is no oxygen in the atmosphere
Do you need atmosphere to breathe?
You need an atmosphere more than just for breathing but yes, an atmosphere is needed in order for us to breathe oxygen (it's in our atmosphere).
How does the atmosphere preserve life on Earth?
There is oxygen in the atmosphere. This lets us breathe.
What percentage of the air you breathe oxygen?
about 21%
What do you breathe in and what do you breathe out?
Oxygen in, Carbon Dioxide out.Another answerBreathing breathes in the atmosphere: not the whole atmosphere obviously, but its composition. Breathing in occurs because of the necessity of oxygen-entrance and breathing out occurs because of the necessity of carbon dioxide-exit.The air consists of 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen and 0.04% carbon dioxide and equally tiny percentages of other gases. We breathe in this 79% nitrogen and breathe out an equal percentage. We breathe in 21% oxygen and breathe out 16% oxygen. We breathe in 0.04% carbon dioxide and breathe out 4-5% carbon dioxide.
What does respiration remove from the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is being released. As you breathe in you inhale fresh oxygen, but as you breathe out your body releases carbon dioxide.
Can you breathe Jupiter's atmosphere?
