Answer:

Nitrogen represents 78% of the atmosphere, oxygen 21%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The atmosphere is composed of a mixture of many different gases, which are found in different amounts. The permanent gases whose percentages do not change are nitrogen, oxygen, and argon.

Nitrogen represents 78% of the atmosphere, oxygen 21% and argon 0.9%. Other gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, methane, and ozone represent a low percentage of the composition in the atmosphere.

Ultimately nitrogen and oxygen account for approximately 99% of the gases in the atmosphere.

Have a nice day.
