    Question: The gases mainly found in the exosphere layer are

    Options:

    Nitrogen and Oxygen
    Nitrogen and Helium
    Hydrogen and Nitrogen
    Hydrogen and Helium

    Concept:​
    Atmosphere
    -The atmosphere is a blanket of life-giving gases like oxygen for animals and CO2 for plants and many other gases, over the surface of the earth.
    -Our atmosphere is divided into five layers starting from the earth’s surface.
    -These are Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Exosphere.
    Exosphere
    -The uppermost layer of the atmosphere is known as the exosphere.
    -This layer has very thin air.
    -Light gases float into the space from here.
    -This layer act as a transitional layer between space and the earth's atmosphere.

    ✅ Explanation:
    -The exosphere layer is mostly made up of hydrogen and helium with extremely low concentrations.
    -Atoms and molecules are separated by such a large distance that they can traverse hundreds of kilometres without colliding.
    -In this layer, gases such as monatomic helium and diatomic hydrogen float into space.

    🔴Additional Information:
    Nitrogen
    -Nitrogen gas is mainly found in the Troposphere.
    -In the atmosphere, nitrogen is quite stable and does not participate in many chemical reactions.
    -It is heavier than hydrogen and helium so it's found in the lower layer of the atmosphere.
    Oxygen
    -Oxygen is also found in the troposphere.
    -The troposphere is 16km at the equator and 8 km at the poles, in which we live
