Most gases in the atmosphere are found in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, extending from the surface up to about 8 to 15 kilometers (5 to 9 miles) high. This layer contains roughly 75% of the atmosphere's mass and is where weather phenomena occur. Key gases such as nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%) are most concentrated in this region. Higher layers, like the stratosphere and mesosphere, have much lower densities of gases.
