Constituents of the Atmosphere

Question

Name any two constituents of the atmosphere.

Answer

Gases: Gases are essential constituents of the atmosphere, including nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and trace gases. They regulate climate, support life, and participate in various atmospheric processes like the greenhouse effect.

Dust Particles: Dust particles in the atmosphere originate from natural sources (e.g., soil, volcanic eruptions) and human activities. They impact air quality, play a role in cloud formation, and can influence solar radiation absorption.

Water Vapour/Moisture: Water vapor is the gaseous form of water present in the atmosphere. It plays a crucial role in weather and climate by condensing to form clouds and precipitating as rain, snow, or hail.

Smoke Particles: Smoke particles result from incomplete combustion of organic matter, like burning wood or fossil fuels. They contribute to air pollution, reduce visibility, and can affect human health and climate by absorbing or reflecting sunlight.
