It depends on how you define gas, and on how large a scale you are looking at.
If air is any gas then of course it is thousands of times more abundant on a universal scale, and almost certainly on a global scale too. (after all not only is the atmosphere deeper than the ocean but as it is further away from the centre of the earth each meter's depth has a greater effect)
If you only count air as oxygen then I'm not sure on a global scale but I'm pretty sure it will still be more abundant on a universal scale.
Hope this helps

Does rising air expand or contract?
Rising air cools and compresses adiabatically.
Warm air rises because it is?
Warm air rises because it is less dense than colder air. As gases get warmer they expand that the molecules become farther apart causing it to become less dense and therefore, lighter per unit squared, this is why it rises.
When air rises does it expand and cool adiabatically?
Yes. Adiabatic cooling occurs when there is a change in only pressure.
Does unsaturated air expand or compress?
Unsaturated air expands. It cools quickly and expands as it rises. As it begins to rise, its relative humidity increases.
Warm air rises because of its?
the warm air rises because of its Kinetic energy !
How air get cooled?
Warm air rises....and when it rises it becomes cooler. ...If the pressure of surrounding air is reduced then the rising air parcel will expand. The molecules are doing work as they expand . This will affect the parcel's temperature.
Why do your luns expand and contract?
to pull in air and break out air
What happens when you heat and cool air?
When you heat air, the air pressure rises and the particles expand.
Does the chamber of a barometer expand or contract as the air pressure goes up?
EXPAND
Does rising air expand or contract?
Rising air cools and compresses adiabatically.
What decreases as air rises that allows it to expand?
As you go up in elevation, the local air pressure drops, because there is less air above you to push Dow (gravity) to produce the pressure. Less pressure allows the air to expand.

Unsaturated air expands. It cools quickly and expands as it rises. As it begins to rise, its relative humidity increases.
How does convection happen?
Liquids and gasses tend to expand when heated, this lowers the density, thus warm "air" rises and cool air falls.
Why does a partially inflated weather balloon expand as it rises?
As height is gained the outside air pressure on the balloon is reduced. This reduction allows the gas inside the balloon to expand.
Does the human body expand or contract and why?
I think we can.As our human body which is a solid gains heat , they expand and contract when they lose heat.And solids do expand and contract.
