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.
