What is air made of? Nitrogen (N2) 80% Oxygen (O2) 20% One cubic meter of air has 1.293 kiograms of mass. Air is constantly moving; each molecule of nitrogen and oxygen is constantly vibrating and moving from place to place. You don't always feel it, unless a large number of molecules are moving in the same direction. That's what wind is. .
