    Primitive Atmosphere of the Earth

    • The primary components of the primitive atmosphere of the Earth were mostly gases, including methane, ammonia, water vapor, and volcanic gases, which were released from volcanic activity.
    • The atmosphere was also dominated by hydrogen and helium, although it lacked oxygen.

    Dissipation of the Early Atmosphere

    • The early atmosphere of the Earth was dissipated due to the solar winds and the intense radiation from the Sun.
    • The solar winds and radiation stripped away the lighter gases, such as hydrogen and helium, from the atmosphere, leading to their loss into space.
