Besides the lower layer, `CO_(2)` is also found in the upper layer of the atmosphere although it is heavier than `O_(2)` or `N_(2)`-explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The rate of diffusion of a gas is not influenced by the gravitational force. Hence, `CO_(2)` diffuses throughout the atmosphere instead of residing only at the lower layer of the atmosphere.
