Welllll, it's not really that close to one fourth.
One fourth is 25%.
The closest one is oxygen, which comprises about 18% of the air.
Oxygen makes up about 21% of the earth's atmosphere and 78% is nitrogen with 1% other gases
The gas that makes up close to one-fourth of Earth's atmosphere is a misunderstanding. Oxygen constitutes about 21% of the atmosphere, while nitrogen makes up around 78%. Understanding the correct composition is crucial for grasping the role these gases play in sustaining life.
