Not "life as we know it". Oxygen is poisonous, as all Scuba divers know; below about 30 feet depth, pure oxygen will kill you, and a few people react badly to oxygen in normal pressures.
And without nitrogen and carbon dioxide, plants would be unable to live.
The Sun is essential for life on Earth because it provides energy for photosynthesis, which is the process plants use to produce oxygen and food. Without the Sun's energy, Earth would be too cold and dark to support life as we know it.
If the moon didn't exist, Earth's rotation could be less stable, causing more extreme changes in climate and disrupting the tidal patterns that are essential for marine life. Additionally, the moon plays a role in stabilizing the Earth's axial tilt, which could lead to more severe and unpredictable seasons.
Since the moon has no atmosphere, the fire would not burn in the same way it does on Earth where oxygen is present. In a vacuum environment like the moon, the flames would not produce light or heat as they do on Earth.
Oxygen will continue to exist on Earth as long as photosynthesis occurs in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. These organisms produce oxygen as a byproduct of their metabolic processes. If these organisms were to disappear, the oxygen levels in the atmosphere would decrease over time, but it is unlikely that oxygen would completely disappear from Earth.
Yes, air is a mixture of gases that we breathe and is present in Earth's atmosphere. Space, on the other hand, is the near-vacuum expanse that exists beyond Earth's atmosphere, containing very low densities of particles and no atmosphere. The main difference is the composition and density of matter in each.
No. The oxygen would be too concentrated and we would die.
Simplistically, if our atmosphere contained only oxygen, then any tiny spark or flame would be enough to set anything flammable ablaze. More realistically, plants need carbon dioxide, and nitrogen is needed to make proteins, an essential part of all life as we know it.

No. The resources may perhaps exist that could be utilized to develop that ability, but it doesn't exist now.

Oxygen usually exists as a diatomic molecule, O2, in the Earth's atmosphere.
Yes. Earth's atmosphere is about 21% oxygen. Without it, the vast majority of life we see, including humans, could not exist.
For water to exist on Earth, the temperature needed to be within a range where it could exist in liquid form, between 0-100 degrees Celsius. Additionally, Earth's atmosphere needed to have the right combination of gases, like oxygen and nitrogen, to create the conditions necessary for water to form and remain liquid.
nothing on earth would exist
because there an oxygen, water, and food
