What to Focus On

  • Atmosphere is the envelope of air surrounding the Earth.
  • It extends to about 10,000 km above the Earth's surface.
  • Air is colourless, tasteless, odourless, mobile, elastic, and compressible.

  • Nitrogen and Oxygen together make up about 99% of clean dry air.
  • Nitrogen forms 78% of the atmosphere.
  • Oxygen forms 21% of the atmosphere.

  • Water vapour is colourless and odourless.
  • Humidity is the degree of water vapour present in air.
  • Condensation forms clouds and fog.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The atmosphere is just the air close to the ground and ends quickly above us.

Air has no physical properties because it cannot be seen.

Wind and air are the same thing.
