Greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming. Nitrogen and oxygen, which make up most of the atmosphere, do not have this warming effect.
These gases are nitrogen, oxygen and argon.
The two most common elements in Earth's atmosphere are nitrogen, making up about 78%, and oxygen, making up about 21%.
The gas you are referring to is likely nitrogen. Nitrogen is the most abundant component of Earth's atmosphere, making up approximately 78% of the air we breathe. It is colorless, odorless, and mostly inert.
Oxygen (O2) was not present in early Earth's reducing atmosphere. It only became abundant in the atmosphere due to the photosynthetic activity of cyanobacteria and other early organisms.
That's simply the way earth's atmosphere evolved. And fortunate for us - if the earths atmosphere was 100% oxygen, the planet would have burst into flames long ago! Earth's atmosphere is 79% Nitrogen.
Nitrogen accounts for 78% of the atmosphere.
