Why have theories about the Earth's early atmosphere changed and developed over time?
The composition of the atmosphere has changed since the theories were made
Scientists have measured the gases of the early atmosphere directly
New evidence has been found over time, so the theories were revised
The atmospheres of Mars and of Venus have changed over the same time
