Early atmosphere ~4.5 billion years ago Mostly Hydrogen and Helium Escaped into space Outgassing of water vapor and CO2 created a secondary atmosphere with some nitrogen As liquid water formed the oceans and CO2 was removed from atmosphere The atmosphere became dominated by nitrogen. ~ 2 billion years ago oxygen increased in the atmosphere because of plant life and photosynthesis.

Mass - quantity of matter Weight = mass x gravity Density = Mass /volume Pressure = Force /Area

Standard Sea Level pressure is: 1 Atmosphere 14.7 psi 1013 milli bars

Air Pressure (& density) drop by 1/2 for every 5.5 km altitude gain.

Lapse Rate is the temperature drop per kilometer height increase Typically about 6 °C/km = 6 °C/1000m Or About 3 °F/1000 ft
