The atmosphere accounts for:

a. 3% of the total mass of the planet 0.5% of the total mass of the planet

b. 0.000003% of the total mass of the planet 0.08% of the total mass of the planet

c. 0.0025% of the total mass of the planet

d. 0.00009% of the total mass of the planet

D

Explanation:

Weight of atmosphere would apply pressure on Earth's Surface

P = F/A

P=Atm  pressure , F= force , A= area

Let mass M

M x g / A = P

g= 9.81 m/s^2

A is the surface area of a sphere = 4 x π x r^2

r= radius of earth

Putting values

∴ M = 5.26 x 10^18 Kg

We know that total mass of Earth is 6×10^24 Kg.

Therefore we can say that The atmosphere accounts for:0.00009% of the total mass of the planet. Option D is correct.

the journeys of marquette, joliet and la salle a) new france expand.

all three of these explorers explored the midwest and the area around the great lakes, which they subsequently claimed for france.

this was a big portion of territory and expanded new france which before then only consisted of quebec province in northeastern canada
