Without getting too technical on this answer the main reason is a physics law known as the Ideal Gas Law.
The law is derived from the fact, that in the ideal state of any gas a given number of its "particles" occupy the same volume, and that volume changes are inverse to pressure changes and linear to temperature changes.
With the basis that gravity is the same at equal distances around the planet the pressure variations allow for all the gases of the earths atmosphere to mix equally.
The currently accepted levels for gases in the earths atmosphere are as follows :
N2 - 78.08%
O2 - 20.95%
H2O - 0 to 4%
Ar - 0.93%
CO2 - 0.0360%
Ne - 0.0018%
He - 0.0005%
CH4 - 0.00017%
H2 - 0.00005%
N2O - 0.00003%
O3 - 0.000004%
Allthough it osccilate little bit but remain constant at 21% with negligible rate due to the cycling of oxygen from plants or photosynthetic organisms to animals or non-photosynthetic organisms
In the absence of human activities, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere remains relatively constant because of what is known as the carbon cycle. Animals breathe out carbon dioxide, but plants absorb carbon dioxide and convert it into living matter, which animals eat, convert back into carbon dioxide and breathe out. This balance is only upset when carbon is extracted from under the ground and converted into carbon dioxide, thus raising the atmospheric concentration.
photosynthesis in plants and respiration in animals will keep the proportion of oxygen constant and thus we can see a balance in the earthly livings
beacuse they both created at the same time
suma nmo bright man kha ka?.....hahahaha
The amount is increased. Co2 is a greenhouse gas.
The levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere stayed constant for thousands of years because of the carbon cycle, which moves carbon throughout the air, oceans and land. There was also no burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and nobody had cut down the great forests of the world.
Respiration, breathing, has no effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is part of the natural carbon cycle. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for millions of years. This extra gas is increasing in the atmosphere.
Coal is almost all carbon plus impurities. Burning it combines it with oxygen forming carbon dioxide.

Respiration :)
In pre-industrial times, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2)that animals breathe out was matched by the amount absorbed by plants, so that the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide remained remarkably stable in the range of 260 to 280 parts per million (ppm) over a very long period. Adding additional carbon dioxide by burning fossil fuels, overwhelms the carbon cycle and causes the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide to rise beyond this range. Deforestation can break the carbon cycle, first by removing a store of carbon which will be released as additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and in some cases by reducing the ability of nature to absorb carbon dioxide from the air.

Almost all fuels produce carbon dioxide when burnt, but only fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas actually add to the amount of carbon dioxide naturally present in the atmosphere.
Henry's law constant for Carbon Dioxide at 20 degrees Celsius is: 1,6*10^3 ATM

Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
The amount of carbon dioxide exhaled is always greater than the amount inhaled because part of the oxygen inhaled is converted into carbon dioxide by metabolic processes of digestion, while any carbon dioxide inhaled remains unchanged in the body and is always exhaled again.
