The earth’s atmosphere is made up of different gasses with nitrogen and oxygen having the highest percentage of 78 and 21 percent respectively. As you go up of the earth’s atmosphere the atmosphere gets thinner until you reach space. The earth’s atmosphere as we learnt in class can be divided into five main layers? Did you understand them and their characteristics? Take the quiz to find out. All the best!
