1 Characteristics of the Atmosphere
... An atmosphere is a layer of gases that surrounds a planet or moon. On Earth, the atmosphere is often called just “the air.” When you take a breath of air, you are breathing in atmosphere. The air you breathe is made of many different things. Almost 80% of it is nitrogen gas. The rest is mostly oxyge ...
