THE COMPOSITION OF AIR


Air is the mixture of gases that surrounds the Earth. 
The main gases in air are:
  • Nitrogen: the most abundant gas.
  • Oxygen: the second most abundant gas. Plants produce oxygen. All living things need oxygen to breathe.
  • Carbon dioxide: a very small part of air. Living things produce carbon dioxide when they breathe out. It is also produced by cars and factories.
