The abundance of selenium in the atmosphere of Earth is very low, with concentrations typically ranging from 0.1 to 1 nanograms per cubic meter of air. Selenium is not a major component of Earth's atmosphere and is mainly found in soil, water, and food sources.
The atmosphere of Earth contains about 78.08% nitrogen. There has been no other place found that has this nitrogen in abundance, with Mars having only 3% as a remainder of its thin and low-pressure atmosphere.
Nitrogen take up aproximately 70% of the earths lower atmosphere.
The Earth is often referred to as the "Green Planet" due to its abundance of plant life and lush vegetation. Uranus, on the other hand, is known for its distinct blue-green color resulting from the presence of methane in its atmosphere.
Selenium was named after the Greek word "selene," which means moon. This is because selenium's properties were found to be similar to tellurium, which was named after the Earth, and sulfur, which was named after the Sun. The name selenium reflects its position in the same chemical group as tellurium and sulfur.
Tellurium - Tellus, which is latin for earth. Helium - Helios, meaning the sun. Selenium- Selene, which is Greke for moon.
The Earth's atmosphere has 21% oxygen
It accounts ofr 0.934% by volume, of the earth's atmosphere.
Around 87 parts per billion in the earth's atmosphere.
The abundance of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere was 0.038% but is now nearer 0.04%.
The abundance of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere is primarily due to photosynthesis, a process carried out by plants and algae that produces oxygen as a byproduct. Without photosynthesis, oxygen levels in the atmosphere would decrease over time due to various processes that consume oxygen.
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, but it is relatively rare in the Earth's atmosphere. It makes up only about 0.000055% of the atmosphere by volume.
Helium makes up about 0.0005% of the Earth's atmosphere, making it relatively scarce compared to other gases like nitrogen and oxygen.
On Earth itis found mostly in the atmosphere but only in traces: around 1 part in 20 million. Its abundance is unusually high in the atmosphere of Jupiter.
The atmosphere of Earth contains about 78.08% nitrogen. There has been no other place found that has this nitrogen in abundance, with Mars having only 3% as a remainder of its thin and low-pressure atmosphere.
All the noble gases are in the atmosphere.
Helium and hydrogen are very light gases that can easily escape Earth's gravitational pull. Therefore, over time, they have largely escaped from the Earth's atmosphere into space. Additionally, hydrogen can react with other elements in the atmosphere to form compounds such as water, further reducing its abundance in the atmosphere.
Argon is the third most abundant gas in the Earth's atmosphere, making up about 0.93% of the atmosphere. It is present in much lower concentrations compared to nitrogen and oxygen. In the Earth's crust, argon is not as abundant as in the atmosphere, with only trace amounts found in minerals.
