If only oxygen were present in the atmosphere, it would create a highly reactive environment, leading to rapid combustion of organic materials and increased fire hazards. Additionally, the lack of other gases like nitrogen would disrupt the balance necessary for life, as many organisms depend on a mix of gases for respiration and other metabolic processes. This scenario would ultimately be inhospitable for most forms of life as we know it.
The oxygen in Earth's atmosphere comes from photosynthesis, which is carried out by plants and algae. Earth is the only planet known to have life, which is the only way we know of that would cause a planet to have an oxygen-rich atmosphere. Oxygen can form from the chemical breakdown of water via sunlight, but only in trace amounts.
The atmosphere is 79.9% oxygen.
Earth is the only known planet with an oxygenated atmosphere.
About 21% of the Earth's atmosphere is oxygen.
Mercury is the only inner planet with no significant atmosphere. Its thin exosphere consists mainly of oxygen, sodium, hydrogen, helium, and potassium.
we will all suffocate due to no oxygen
We dont, we breath nitrogen and oxygen...but only the oxygen gets used by our bodies.
The atmosphere of Europa is composed of only oxygen, which is unusual. It is a very tenuous atmosphere.
There is oxygen in the atmosphere of Saturn, but it is only a tiny fraction of the deep atmosphere, which is mostly hydrogen. It is not in a usable form as is oxygen on Earth.
Mars' atmosphere contains 0.13% oxygen. Over 95% of the atmosphere on Mars is carbon dioxide.
youll die
Yes. There is one planet with oxygen in its atmosphere: our home planet Earth.
There would be no air or oxygen for us to survive.

Oxygen is already 20.946% by volume, So an increase of 0.054% should not make any difference
If there was only oxygen and no nitrogen present, the burning process would be more efficient and the flames would burn brighter and hotter. Nitrogen in the air can act as a diluent, which can dampen the combustion process.
only if an atmosphere is created
