Task 31. Atmosphere
Atmosphere is the gaseous
envelope of a celestial body which
held by gravity around him. The initial composition of the planet's atmosphere is
usually dependent on the chemical properties of the sun and the temperature during
166
the formation of the planets and the subsequent emission of external gases. Then the
composition gas shell evolves under the action of various factors.
The Earth's atmosphere is largely a product of living organisms in it.
Approximate composition of the Earth's atmosphere: 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95%
