The atmosphere does extend out more than 100 miles. The altitude of 100 kilometers (62 miles) is officially the edge of space, but this "boundary" is rather arbitrary.
The lowest is the troposphere, which is the layer that provides most of our weather. It contains about 80% of the Earth's air, but extends only to a height of about 11 miles (17 kilometers) at the Equator and less at the Poles.
No, Earth's atmosphere is mostly composed of nitrogen (about 78%) and oxygen (about 21%). Hydrogen makes up a very small fraction of Earth's atmosphere, less than 0.1%.
The layer of the Earth's atmosphere that fits this description is the thermosphere. In the thermosphere, there is little to no water vapor, the atmospheric pressure is less than 1.0 atmosphere, and the air temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation.
Less than 0.001% of Earth's total water is stored in the atmosphere in the form of water vapor. The majority of Earth's water is found in oceans, followed by glaciers, groundwater, and freshwater lakes and rivers.
Less than 0.001% of Earth's total water supply is stored in the atmosphere at any one time. This includes water vapor, clouds, and precipitation. The vast majority of Earth's water is found in the oceans.
If you travel some 12. 5 miles into the sky, you will leave roughly 99 percent of the atmosphere behind. At 30 miles up, the density of the atmosphere is roughly one million times less than at the surface.

Yes, the earths atmosphere has around 20% oxygen, but less than 1% argon.
the density and temperature of the layers. The farther you go up, the less dense each layer is.
Argon and trace gases like neon, helium, and methane make up less than 1 percent of Earth's atmosphere.
The air becomes less dense, the higher you go. And generally, the temperature gets colder until you reach the thermosphere, which is the hottest part of Earths atmosphere.

About 78% of the atmosphere is nitrogen, while 20% is oxygen. Argon makes up less than 1%. Depending on the location, water vapor would be the third or fourth most abundant, comprising up to 4% of the atmosphere.
The outer core, inner core, mantle, crust, water, atmosphere. This is the order from densest to least dense.
