No. Earth's atmosphere is composed (by dry volume) of about 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, and 0.93% Argon. Carbon dioxide is the fourth most common component of our atmosphere, at 0.038%. Carbon dioxide is a "trace gas".

The last person said "Water Vapor".

From a textbook I read, it says the Earth's atmosphere's solvent is nitrogen. The Earth's atmosphere is made out of 78% nitrogen, while water vapor and other gases takes part in only 1% of the earth's atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere is a gas-gas solution.

Carbon dioxide is not a solvent or solute in the Earth atmosphere; it is only a minor component of the air.
