The atomosphere would be explosive otherwise and the planet uninhabitable. Nitrogen acts as nature's diluent.
What else can I help you with?
What gas is more abundant nitrogen or oxygen?
In the atmosphere, Nitrogen is about four times as common as is Oxygen.
Does the atmosphere have more nitrogen or oxygen in it?
The atmosphere contains more nitrogen than oxygen. Approximately 78% of the atmosphere is nitrogen, while oxygen makes up about 21%. The remaining 1% consists of other gases like argon, carbon dioxide, and trace gases.
How many Time more nitrogen than oxygen make up air?
There is: Nitrogen (N2): 78.09% Oxygen (O2): 20.95% in the atmosphere There is ~3.73 times more oxygen than nitrogen in the air and is in a ratio (oxygen to nitrogen) of 39:10 (rounded).
How many times more than oxygen makes up air?
There is: Nitrogen (N2): 78.09% Oxygen (O2): 20.95% in the atmosphere There is ~3.73 times more oxygen than nitrogen in the air and is in a ratio (oxygen to nitrogen) of 39:10 (rounded).
Why does the nitrogen level in the atmosphere is higher than the oxygen level?
Because due to the over pollution and cutting down the tree's level of Oxygen is decreasing .The level of Nitrogen always remains constant in the atmosphere . The level of Nitrogen doesn't' depend on the level of the Oxygen level.
Why did god made nitrogen more aboundant than oxygen in the atmosphere?
Because Nitrogen makes plants grow and they provide a continuous supply of oxygen!
What planet has nitrogen and oxygen in it's atmosphere?
It is none other than our own planet Earth, which has nitrogen and oxygen in its atmosphere.
Why does earth have more nitrogen than oxygen in its atmosphere?
The atmosphere of Earth today is not the atmosphere that the planet started out with, the atmosphere has been produced by the biosphere of the planet. Originally the atmosphere was made of hydrocarbons, Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen. Living things (using photosynthesis) have changed this by using the Carbon Dioxide to make sugars and releasing Oxygen as a waste product. The free Oxygen then got into chemical processes with minerals in the Oceans to make Iron ores and slowly the Ocean and atmosphere changed to include free Oxygen. Nitrogen is very inert and while it is slightly involved in life processes its proportion was unchanged by life. Therefore the composition of the atmosphere is a changing dynamic balance resulting from the nitrogen, and carbon cycles of the planet.
Does the atmosphere contains more nitrogen than oxygen?
roughly 80% is nitrogen, 19% is oxygen. There are also small quantities of other gases etc.
Which two gases make up 99 percent of the gases in the atmosphere which gas is more abundant?
I am looking for the exact same answer I know one of the gases should be oxygen
Ninety nine percent of atmosphere is composed of what?
The nitrogen and oxygen in Earth's atmosphere together account for a speck more than 99% of it..
Why is there more nitrogen in the atmosphere than oxygen?
Nitrogen makes up about 78% of Earth's atmosphere compared to about 21% oxygen. This difference is due to the way these gases were trapped during Earth's formation and the chemical reactions that have taken place over billions of years. Nitrogen is less reactive than oxygen, so it has remained more abundant in our atmosphere.
