Air Around Us:
Air is the invisible mixture of gases that surrounds the Earth and fills the atmosphere. Even though we cannot see air, it plays a crucial role in supporting life. Air is all around us, from the ground we walk on to the sky above, and it’s something we use every time we breathe.
Air is made up of different gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases, such as argon and helium. Along with gases, air also contains water vapour and tiny dust particles. These gases and particles are essential for various processes, such as breathing, plant growth, and even weather changes.
