It came from primitive organisms early in earth's history. They were the first organisms to use photosynthesis to make food, by using light to convert Carbon dioxide and water into glucose (food) and oxygen. Since oxygen is a waste product of photosynthesis, it was released into the air. As more and more of these organisms multiplied, large amounts of oxygen were released into the air, forming today's atmosphere.
The Troposphere is a layer of the first layer of the atmosphere. It is about right above the clouds.
He described it by saying it was "a real fireball out there--a real fireball..."
Cyanobacteria are believed to be responsible for establishing Earth's oxygen-rich atmosphere. Nearly 2.3 billion years ago, these microbes, which lived in the seas, were the first organisms to produce oxygen, leading to the transformation of the Earth's environment.
They were the oldest organisms called Stromatolites which did not need oxygen themselves but produced it by photosynthesis.
Oxygen. Earth's early(first) atmosphere is believed to contain hydrogen cyanide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and water. but still it only had little to no oxygen.

The earths first atmosphere was created by the methane, carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides and water vapor that volcanoes were pumping out. Oxygen started to come in noticeable quantities once life had formed. Nitrogen is inert, so doesn't do anything.
Cyanobacteria do not require oxygen. They are believed to have produced the first oxygen supply in the Earth's atmosphere, through the process of photosynthesis.

Oxygen makes up only 21% of the air we breathe, but it is certainly the most important part, since we can't live without it.The Earth's atmosphere initially had very little oxygen; oxygen was added to the atmosphere by living things (anaerobic bacteria at first, plants later).The oxygen that we breathe now is produced by bacteria, algae and plants. It is estimated that 70 to 80% of the oxygen in the atmosphere comes from aquatic plants in the oceans.
