The most variable component of air is water vapor, or
moisture, whose concentration may range from a
negligibly small value in a desert to about 5% in a
steaming jungle.
The (most variable) component (of air) is water vapor (, or

If we neglect the moisture and consider only dry air,
its composition by volume is roughly 78% nitrogen,
21% oxygen, and 1% of other gases.

Thus, if we analyzed air in various parts of the Earth
(which are) away from man's activities, the
composition of the gases would be very close to the
values in Table 5.1.
