Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Argon.
The atmosphere traps energy from the sun because in our atmosphere are greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. These three-atom gases absorb the heat rising from the earth's surface.
There are various gases that are released into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are three of them.
Oxygen, Nitrogen and Argon comprise 99% of the air.
There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.
The three most common gasses in our atmosphere are: nitrogen 78%, oxygen 21%, and argon <1%.

These gases are: nitrogen (78,084 %), oxygen (20,9476 %), argon (0,934 %), carbon dioxide (0,0314).

Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen
The greenhouse gases hold the heat. This heat warms the atmosphere around and also back down to the surface of the earth. As more fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are burnt, more greenhouse gases are emitted and the atmosphere gets warmer. This is called global warming, which is causing climate change.
Am not very sure I am perfectly accurrate but think the atmosphere consists of all the gases and particles, nonliving, that is above the earth crust including Nitrogen,Oxygen,noble or rare gases,water vapor, including the cloud, and dust or pollutants depending on the area.
