The atmosphere has the same amount of oxygen today as it did 1000 years ago. Although oxygen gets used up in various ways, through fire and through metabolism, oxygen is constantly being released into the atmosphere by green plants.

The overall oxygen levels on Earth have remained relatively stable over the last 1000 years. However, localized factors such as deforestation and air pollution can affect oxygen levels in specific areas.
The composition of the atmosphere today is different compared to 1000 years ago due to human activities. The increase in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide has led to global warming and climate change. This change in composition is impacting the Earth's climate and ecosystem.
Well, friend, the amount of oxygen in our atmosphere has actually remained quite stable over the past few decades. Mother Nature has a way of balancing things out, so you can breathe easy knowing that the air you're breathing is just as oxygen-rich as it was 20 years ago. Just take a deep breath and appreciate the beauty of our world around you.
Jupiter is a gas giant composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, so it does not have a significant amount of oxygen in its atmosphere. Oxygen makes up less than 1% of Jupiter's composition.
At higher altitudes, the air pressure decreases due to lower atmospheric density. This decrease in air pressure leads to a lower concentration of oxygen molecules available. Consequently, there is less oxygen available for breathing on the top of a mountain.
Oxygen makes up less than 0.1% of the Moon's composition, mostly bound in rocks and minerals as oxides. There is no significant free oxygen in the Moon's atmosphere.
