78% of the Earth's atmosphere is Nitrogen. Another 21% is oxygen, and the final 1% are other gases found is small amounts such as carbon dioxide, helium and methane.
Earths atmosphere is rich in Oxygen, some 21% of the air is Oxygen. There is oxygen on other planets, but the percentage comes nowhere close to this. The percentage of Oxygen in earths atmosphere is thought to have been much higher in the past, before animals were about, but after the arrival of plants.
Nitrogen is about 70%. Oxygen runs about 28%.

Nitrogen and oxygen,
mostly nitrogen with 21% oxygen
Nitrogen Gas makes up about 80% of Earths atmosphere with Oxygen making up most of the rest (20%).
That's simply the way earth's atmosphere evolved. And fortunate for us - if the earths atmosphere was 100% oxygen, the planet would have burst into flames long ago! Earth's atmosphere is 79% Nitrogen.
