The rate of formation of N(2P) and N(2D) during N2 dissociation via electron impact and solar short-wavelength radiation is calculated on the basis of spectroscopic data. The quenching of N(2P) by atomic oxygen is studied, and a quenching rate constant of 3.5 x 10 to the -11th cu cm/s is derived. Taking into account the calculated N(2P) yield and the derived constant, data on N I 346.6 forbidden-line emission and N I 1040.0 nm forbidden-line emission in the dayglow are explained.
