Composition of Earth's atmosphere as at Dec. 1987.
The lower pie represents the trace gases which together compose 0.038% of the atmosphere.
Values normalized for illustration.

Composition of dry atmosphere, by volume[2] ppmv: parts per million by volume
(note: volume fraction is equal to mole fraction for ideal gas only, see Gas volume#Partial volume)
