The percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere is approximately 21%. Nitrogen makes up 78% and the last 2% percent is a mixture of various different gases, mostly argon.
The low air pressure in the atmosphere is due to the limited amount of gases present, including mostly nitrogen and oxygen. While there is carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it makes up a small percentage compared to nitrogen and oxygen.
The three main gases in Earth's atmosphere are nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), and argon (0.9%). These percentages represent the approximate composition of dry air in the atmosphere.
Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the Earth's atmosphere.
The earths atmosphere is made up of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen
The highest percentage in the Earth's atmosphere is nitrogen, at 78%. Then oxygen(21%) and CO2, 0.9%.
Nitrogen and oxygen together make up approximately 99% of Earth's atmosphere, with nitrogen accounting for about 78% and oxygen around 21%.

Nitrogen and oxygen make up the largest percentage of the atmosphere.
Nitrogen and oxygen make up about 99% of the Earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen accounts for about 78% and oxygen for about 21%.
Earths atmosphere is rich in Oxygen, some 21% of the air is Oxygen. There is oxygen on other planets, but the percentage comes nowhere close to this. The percentage of Oxygen in earths atmosphere is thought to have been much higher in the past, before animals were about, but after the arrival of plants.
The two main atmospheric gases are nitrogen and oxygen. The approximate percentage for nitrogen is 78% and oxygen's approximate percentage is 21%.

75% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 3% other gases.
Nitrogen. Nitrogen makes up roughly 78% of Earth's air. The other constituents include : * 20.95% oxygen * 0.93% argon * 0.038% carbon dioxideand traces of other gases, and transported water vapor in varying amounts.
