∙ 13y ago
Gases in Earth's atmosphere exert pressure on everything due to their weight and the force of gravity. This atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, meaning that it's higher at sea level and decreases as you go higher up. Atmospheric pressure is essential for sustaining life on Earth.

What part of the earths spheres is composed of a mixture of gases?
the entire atmosphere...
What type of gases is in earths atmosphere?
Atmosphere contains roughly (by volume) 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95%oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases.
What Active volcanoes are added to the early Earths atmosphere?
There are smallamount of volcanoes. They emit so2 and co2 gases.
How does solar radiation leave earths atmosphere?
Solar radiation leaves Earth's atmosphere through a process called reflection and absorption. Some of the radiation is reflected back into space by clouds, gases, and particles in the atmosphere. The remaining radiation is absorbed by the surface of the Earth, where it is converted into heat energy.
What is the volume of nitrogen in the earths atmosphere at sea level?
The volume of nitrogen in Earth's atmosphere is approximately 78% of the total volume at sea level, which is roughly 78.08%. The volume of nitrogen is expressed as a percentage of the total volume of gases in the atmosphere.

Pairs of gases that are the most abundant in earths atmosphere?
Nitrogen & oxygen.
What are the most common gases that are found in the earths atmosphere?
These gases are nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide.
If the moon had an atmosphere what would happened to it?
If the moon "had" or had had in the past an atmosphere, its gravitational force (about one sixth that of earths) would not have been strong enough for it to stop the gases dissipating into space.
When earths early atmosphere formed which gases where lost because earths gravity was too weak?
Hydrogen and helium
Why are the major gases that make up earths atmosphere?
Nitrogen, Oxygen and Argon make up 99% of the atmosphere
