Probably about the same as yours, something like 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, almost 1% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and some other trace gases. And there's some water vapor.

Do greenhouse gases thicken the air?
Not really, it thickens the Atmosphere though. However, since the atmosphere is mostly made up of oxygen and nitrogen, the effects of the greenhouse gases mostly stick to trapping heat.
What would earths atmosphere likely consist mostly of without the presence of life?
c water vapor
Which gases made up most of Earths early atmosphere?
mostly carbon dioxide with little or no oxygen.
What are atmosphere gases?
atmosphere gases are made of air
What effect would an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have on earths overall temperature?
Of course, greenhouse gases keep the Earth from being one large popsicle. The newest studies of the atmosphere indicate that the atmosphere is pretty stable, now. The reason is that nearly all of the greenhouse gases are water vapor mostly evaporated from the oceans.
What are the jovian planets like?

Which planet has is atmosphere mostly made of nitrogen?
Neptune (NovaNet) There's something wrong here. Neptune is mainly a hydrogen atmosphere. Earth is the planet with a mainly nitrogen atmosphere, but the coldest is Neptune.
What is the earth atmosphere mostly made up of?
