Detailed explanation-1: -One of the main components of Earth’s interdependent physical systems is the atmosphere. An atmosphere is made of the layers of gases surrounding a planet or other celestial body. Earth’s atmosphere is composed of about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and one percent other gases.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Earth is wrapped in a blanket of air called the ‘atmosphere’, which is made up of several layers of gases. The Sun is much hotter than the Earth and it gives off rays of light energy that travel through the atmosphere and reach the Earth’s surface.
