Today???
It's cold (vapor pressure is lower) and clear (the air has shed [rain or warmed up] some of the water vapor it contained when it came in off the Pacific ocean0.
About 21% of the Earth's atmosphere is oxygen.
Your momma is the percentage.

The early Earth's atmosphere was likely composed of gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrogen, and minimal oxygen. It was lacking in oxygen compared to the current atmosphere, which is about 21% oxygen. Additionally, early Earth's atmosphere lacked the protective ozone layer present in our atmosphere today.
That depends upon which Epoch. There have been four mass extinctions [over several hundreds of million Years] caused by Earth being over run by Cyano-[Purple]-bacteria; these onslaughts were caused by highly irregular Atmospheric Conditions.
Approximately 78% of the Earth's atmosphere is composed of nitrogen.
The water vapor in the early atmosphere of Earth likely condensed and fell as rain, contributing to the formation of the oceans. This process, known as the "water cycle," involves the continuous movement of water between the atmosphere, land, and oceans through processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Over time, the oceans became the primary reservoir for water on Earth, where it remains today.
today: 0.04% CO2 21% O2 78% nitrogen 0.01% other Before: exactly the same.
Argon is a noble gas and does not react with other elements in the atmosphere, so it has remained relatively constant over time. The initial percentage of argon in the Earth's atmosphere was likely determined by the gases present during the planet's formation. The lack of significant processes that remove or add argon to the atmosphere has helped to maintain its percentage over time.
the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere today is about 20.95%. Or... if you round it you get the most common answer of 21%.
Yes. Only a small percentage is fabricated from bronze stock.
As opposed to today's atmosphere, the Earth's early atmosphere would have been quite impossible for human life to thrive in. Today the atmosphere consists primarily of Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Carbon Dioxide, but early Earth's first atmosphere was probably made of Hydrogen and Helium.

Today the Earth's atmosphere is being destroyed by all the pollution by cars and power plants.
It was about 60% higher than the 21% that is today. This is a reason for large animals that are today smaller due to lower amounts of oxygen in the atmosphere. Living things usually grow faster in higher percentages of oxygen.
