As far as I'm aware, it has no particular use in the atmosphere.

Argon is inert which means it undergoes no* natural reactions. It doesn't do anything.

It exists because of this fact, also. It's pretty hard/impossible to get rid of or convert/use.

It does have some pretty important scientific uses, though. Such as providing inert atmospheres, thermal insulation and lighting.

*It has no common natural reactions you would ever see in your lifetime (if you could witness reactions on such a scale). Given an infinite amount of time you would see all things occur. Seems nit-picky but this is the reality of physics and chemistry.
