Phosphorus is not an atmospheric cycle because it is not found in significant quantities in the atmosphere like other elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. Instead, phosphorus cycles through the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biOSphere primarily through the weathering of rocks, runoff into oceans, and biological processes. This makes phosphorus a terrestrial cycle rather than an atmospheric cycle.
