The five most abundant elements that make up atomic matter are; Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen, Carbon and Neon. Hydrogen is by far the most abundant element. There is three times as much Hydrogen than the next most abundant element, Helium.
In order of abundance, by volume, they are: Nitrogen (≈78%), Oxygen (≈21%) Water vapor (to ≈4%), Argon (≈1%), and Carbon Dioxide (0.03 - 0.04%). All other gases in our atmosphere are smaller fractions of 1%.
The 10 most abundant elements in the universe in from greatest to least are hydrogen, helium, oxygen, neon, nitrogen, carbon, silicon, magnesium, iron, and sulfur. Refer to the related link below for a table that gives the relative abundance of the 10 most abundant elements.

Air IS the Earth's atmosphere, so it doesn't affect it.
Hydrogen and oxygen are technically the most abundant elements, as they are the constituents of water (H2O). Excepting those two elements, chlorine, as chloride ions, is the most abundant element, followed by sodium ions.

Q: What is the most abundant element on Earth? A: Oxygen, which composes about 49.5% of the total mass of the Earth's crust, waters and atmosphere, according to the textbook βModern Chemistry.β Silicon is second at 28%.
Air is not an element, but made of elements. Mostly nitrogen and oxygen, with helium, hydrogen and other trace elements.
The element that is most abundant in living things is carbon. The other five elements that are most abundant in living things are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur.
The sun is 75% hydrogyn, 23% hylium, and 2% everything else. That is all I know.
