krypton is a noble gas, and it's found in the atomosphere. Most of air is nitrogen, and then oxygen (about 70% 21% respectively). That means that of all the rest of the possible gases that can be part of the air, all together they make up 9%. Krypton is part of that. "rare" is a very qualitative measure. I am sure there is more krypton than other gases, but not as much as others. krypton can be purchased by chemistry departments, and it does not cost thousands of dollars, so again, it's there even though it's not as abundant as oxygen.

Krypton; it immediately makes most folks think of Superman, as it was the fictional hero's home planet. But Krypton is a very real, terrestrial element. Its chemical symbol is Kr, its atomic number is 36, and it is a member of the Periodic Table's group of noble gases.

Krypton is Greek for "The Hidden One". It is colorless, tasteless, odorless, and is a noble gas. It is almost completely inert and occurs in trace amounts.
