    Solution

    The troposphere represents the lowest layer of the atmosphere and contains the densest air. It comprises approximately three-quarters of the entire atmospheric mass. The composition of air in this layer is 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, with the remaining 1% consisting of argon, water vapor, and carbon dioxide. This layer is where most weather phenomena occur.
