Aluminum = .48%
Iron = .49%
Calcium = 1.18%
Sodium = 1.11%
Magnesium = .33%

Percent by Mass:
Hydrosphere
Earth's liquid water
Hydrogen = 66%
Oxygen = 33%
Other = 1%
Percent by Volume:
Atmosphere
the shell of gas that surrounds the Earth (troposphere)
Oxygen = 21%
Nitrogen = 78%
Other = 1%
Percent by Volume:
Troposphere
Lowest sphere
0 to 12 kilometers above the surface
Most dense layer and contains the most mass of the atmosphere
-55 to 15 degrees Celcius, the temperature becomes lower as the altitude increases
Contains most of the water vapor and clouds
Stratosphere
12 to 50 kilometers
-55 to 0 degrees Celcius, the temperature becomes higher as the altitude increases
Contains the most ozone
Mesosphere
50 to 80 kilometers
-90 to 0 degrees Celcius, the temperature decreases as the altitude increases
Thermosphere
50 to 600 kilometers
-90 to 2000+ degrees Celcius, the temperature increases as the altitude increases
Tropopause
Stratopause
Mesopause
