∙ 10y agoNo. Oxygen is the second most abundant. Carbon dioxide is the fifth most abundant gas overall after nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and water vapor*.
*This is based on the average abundance of water vapor. The actual abundance varies greatly depending on location and weather conditions.

Third most abundant gas in atmosphere?
carbon dioxide
Where is the most of the earths carbon located?
In the atmosphere, in the form of carbon dioxide
Is argon more abundant then carbon dioxide?
Argon is more abundant in the Earth's atmosphere compared to carbon dioxide. Argon makes up about 0.93% of the atmosphere, while carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04%. However, carbon dioxide is more abundant in terms of its overall presence in the Earth's carbon cycle due to its role in processes like photosynthesis and respiration.
Where is carbon in the atmosphere mostly found?
Carbon Dioxide at .033% The only other two sources in the atmosphere are methane and carbon dioxide both of which are much less abundant.
