What are the amount of gases in the atmosphere usually shown as a percentage of dry air?

Besides the gases that comprise air, air can also contain variable amounts of water
vapor -- characterized by the term, "relative humidity." Because the amount of water
vapor held in air can change, it is simpler and more sensible to express component
gas percentages on the basis of dry air.

What is the percentage of inert gases in atmosphere?
there is 1.25 percent of inert gases in the atmosphere
What is the percentage of inert gases the atmosphere?

Why are the amount of gases in the atmosphere usually shown as percentages of dry?
It is simpler because the amount of water vapor in the air can change.
Why are the amount gases in the atmosphere usually shown as percentages of dry air?
It is simpler because the amount of water vapor in the air can change.
Which two gases make up the largest percentage of the atmosphere?
Nitrogen and oxygen make up the largest percentage of the atmosphere.
Which of the following gases has the greatest percentage in the formation of atmosphere?
Nitrogen
Why are the amounts of gases in the atmosphere usually shown as percentage Of dry air?
The amount of water vapor in the air changes significantly with location and temperature. so a listing of percentage of gasses in the atmosphere would be different depending on how much water was in the air sampled. That would not be useful, because the other gases in the atmosphere do not change all that much. So it is more helpful to describe the making of the atmosphere as dry air (containing no moisture) and then adjust if needed for the humidity at any one place and time.
What are the percentage of gases found in the atmosphere?
75% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 3% other gases.
What gases make up the greatest percentage of earths atmosphere?
The gas which makes up the greatest percentage of earth's atmosphere is nitrogen with 78.08%.
What percentage od the incoming is reflected by clouds dust and gases in the atmosphere?
25%
What percentage are the rare gases in the air?
There are not a lot of noble gases that are in the atmosphere. It is estimated that about 2 percent of the atmosphere contains them.
What is the noble gas that is found in the largest percentage in Earth's atmosphere?
Noble gasses do not exist in large amounts in the earth's atmosphere. The noble gases in total sum up to less than 1% of the gasses in the earth's atmosphere.
