Why does sulfur burn more rapidly in oxygen than in air?
Well, oxygen supports burning. Fire needs fuel, oxygen and a spark or another source of ignition. So the more oxygen there is, the faster your substance will burn! There is 21% oxygen in air, and when you have an atmosphere of oxygen, it can go to quite high concentrations. So sulphur will burn in an atmosphere which has a higher oxygen content.
How did oxygen get in your atmosphere?
Oxygen was released from Precambrian rocks. cynobacteria were the first organisms to produce oxygen 2.5-3 billion years ago
What is inferred to be the main source of the free oxygen that first entered earth?
oxygen producing organisms
How does oxygen occur?
If you mean how does it come to be in the atmosphere, oxygen is released into the atmosphere by plants, mostly by phytoplankton in the ocean. I you mean how is oxygen created in the first place, it is the result of lighter elements being fused together in the cores of stars.

What source removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
Plants and trees, they convert it to oxygen
What is the source of much of the oxygen the atmosphere?
plant-like plankton in the ocean put out most of the oxygen in the atmoshere as a waste-product of photosynthesis.
