Dust particles fall under which category in atmospheric composition?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Aerosols (fine solid or liquid particles)
The governing concept is the classification of suspended atmospheric particles. Dust consists of very small solid particles that remain dispersed in air, so it is classified as an aerosol. Aerosols may also include smoke, sea-salt particles, ash, and tiny liquid droplets. Water vapour is a gas, permanent gases are atmospheric gases such as nitrogen, and greenhouse gases are identified by their radiative heat-trapping behaviour. Thus, aerosol is the precise category.
