| Ooops, my bad. Except for the fact that "natrium" is called
| "nitrogen" in
| English, you're correct that most of the atmosphere is nitrogen, not
| oxygen. Still, I think I remember reading that for some
| reason, oxygen is
| still dominant in determining color. Web searches turned up
| nothing very
| informative on this--does anyone know for sure?

It's caused by both Nitrogen and Oxygen.
