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.
