Yes, the Earth's atmosphere has changed significantly over billions of years since its formation. Initially, it was composed mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium, but volcanic activity and the presence of life led to the development of an atmosphere rich in nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases. Human activities have also impacted the atmosphere through the release of pollutants and greenhouse gases.
Earth's atmosphere formed around 4.5 billion years ago, shortly after the planet's formation. The early atmosphere likely consisted of gases such as hydrogen and helium, but has since evolved through volcanic activity and the presence of living organisms to the composition we see today.
The troposphere is the most dense since it is closest to the surface of the earth and has the highest pressure.
When calculated according to the 4.6 billion years since earth was formed humans have live in it 0.09 percent of the time.
The Earth's early atmosphere was primarily composed of gases emitted from volcanic activity, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. Over time, the atmosphere underwent significant changes due to processes like photosynthesis by early life forms, which reduced carbon dioxide levels and increased oxygen levels. This shift allowed for the evolution of more complex life forms.
True. The carbon dioxide level in the Earth's atmosphere has been increasing since around 1900 due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This increase in carbon dioxide is a major contributor to global warming and climate change.
Catastrophic weather events have happened since the Earth was formed. They can happen when things in the atmosphere radically change.

The earths atmosphere has significantly altered over the years. The process of the earth's atmosphere was recognized and evolved 2.7 billion years ago, forming the nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere that exists today. This change enabled the formation and beginning of the ozone layer (which along with magnetic fields) block solar radiation.
The atmosphere of Earth has changed since its formation. When the Earth formed 4.6 billion years ago, it was a molten ball of rock with an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium. This atmosphere was blown away by the solar winds because there was no magnetic field to protect the Earth. After the Earth cooled, volcanoes released gases such as water vapour, ammonia and carbon dioxide. The ammonia was broken down into nitrogen and hydrogen by sunlight. Eventually, the evolution of cyanobacteria released oxygen into the atmosphere, which began to have a similar composition to the modern atmosphere.
yes
The Earth is about 4.5 billion years old and has had an atmosphere since it formed, but about 3.8-4.1 billion years ago there was believed to be the Late Heavy Bombardment, where a planetesimal roughly the size of Mars hit the Earth, breaking off a large chunk that formed into the Moon. This impact would have obliterated the atmosphere, but it has reformed naturally since then. So, the answer to your question is approximately 4 billion years old.
it has beome more polluted
several.
Depends on what you want to define as "atmosphere". The first signs of a type of atmosphere occurred approximately 10 million years when the Earth started to form a cloud of gaseous silica. When the Earth was about 40% its present radius, gravitational attraction would have been sufficient to retain an atmosphere which would included water.

Yes it is.
