The air is all around us, so it’s not visible to us. And what exactly is air? It’s a mixture of gases that are distinct. About 79% of nitrogen and 20% of oxygen make up the air in the Earth’s atmosphere. Air also has 1% of other small quantities, such as carbon dioxide, neon, and hydrogen, of many other gases.
The air can be visualized using a donut chart (also known as Doughnut chart), a variation of a pie chart, except it has a round hole in the center which makes it look like a donut.
Pie charts have been under assault, probably as long as they have existed because our brains find it hard to compare the shapes of the slices. A donut somewhat remedies this problem since readers focus on reading the length of the arcs instead of the size of the slices.
