The amount of water vapor in the air varies considerably depending on climate and weather. In a desert water vapor may account for a tiny fraction of a percent of the air. In a tropical rainforest during a storm water vapor may account for as much as 4% of the air.

Explain why it is difficult to include water vapor in graph that shows the percentages of various gases in the atmosphere.?

Perhaps because it's so variable, and always so small. The water vapor content in the atmosphere is never more than about 5%, but it can be more or less depending on location, time of day, altitude in the atmosphere, weather conditions such as fog, clouds, temperature, etc.

That's because water vapor is so variable in its concentration in the atmosphere.


What substances make up Earths atmosphere?

The atmosphere of the Earth is composed of different gases. Some of these gases include nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide.


What sort of math equations involving exponents should I include on a math worksheet for a 13 year old?

It would be best to include shape work, triangles, percentages and times tables. The worksheet should gradually get more difficult allowing the students to ease in and feel comfortable with what they are doing.


What are the percentages of gas that make up?

Natural gas is primarily composed of methane, which typically makes up around 70-90% of its composition. Other gases that may be present in smaller percentages include ethane, propane, butane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and hydrogen sulfide.


Why is it difficult to include water vapor in a graph that show is the percent of various gases in the atmosphere?

Water vapor's concentration in the atmosphere can vary greatly in both time and location, making it difficult to accurately represent in a static graph. Additionally, water vapor is highly variable across vertical layers of the atmosphere, further complicating its representation in a simple graph.


Why are the amounts of gases in the atmosphere usually shown as percentages 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.


Does the phosphorus cycle include the atmosphere?

Yes, the phosphorus cycle does include the atmosphere but in very small amounts. Phosphorus can enter the atmosphere through volcanic eruptions, dust particles, and some industrial processes, but the atmosphere is not a major reservoir for phosphorus in the way it is for carbon, nitrogen, or water.


Does the sun's atmosphere consist of oxygen?

The Sun consists mainly of hydrogen and helium. That should include the atmosphere. In a way, the Sun only consists of atmosphere; it doesn't have a surface where you can step on.The Sun consists mainly of hydrogen and helium. That should include the atmosphere.
