roughly 80% is nitrogen, 19% is oxygen. There are also small quantities of other gases etc.
Nitrogen is more in the atmosphere. Around 78% of the atmosphere is nitrogen gas and 21% is oxygen gas.
Nitrogen
In the atmosphere, Nitrogen is about four times as common as is Oxygen.
The atomosphere would be explosive otherwise and the planet uninhabitable. Nitrogen acts as nature's diluent.
The oxygen so characteristic of our atmosphere was almost all produced by plants (cyanobacteria or, more colloquially, blue-green algae). Thus, the present composition of the atmosphere is 79% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and 1% other gases.

Nitrogen
Air is the mixture of gases that surrounds the Earth. The composition of the earth's atmosphere varies with altitude, but at sea level contains approximately 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen by volume.An oxygen-deficient atmosphere contains less than 19.5% oxygen by volume.An oxygen-enriched atmosphere contains more than 23.5% oxygen by volume.
In the atmosphere, Nitrogen is about four times as common as is Oxygen.
The air is made up, mostly, of oxygen and nitrogen.. Air is 78 % nitrogen, 21 % oxygen, about 1 % argon, and a whole raft of other gases present in even smaller amounts..
Nitrogen is more abundant; our atmosphere is 78% Nitrogen.
There is: Nitrogen (N2): 78.09% Oxygen (O2): 20.95% in the atmosphere There is ~3.73 times more oxygen than nitrogen in the air and is in a ratio (oxygen to nitrogen) of 39:10 (rounded).
There is no such planet in our solar system. Perhaps you meant the atmosphere of the planet. The Earth has an atmosphere that's mainly nitrogen

Because Nitrogen makes plants grow and they provide a continuous supply of oxygen!
No. Earth's atmosphere is fairly homogeneous, being about 79% nitrogen at all levels.
