Why does earth have more nitrogen than oxygen in its atmosphere?

The atmosphere of Earth today is not the atmosphere that the planet started out with, the atmosphere has been produced by the biosphere of the planet. Originally the atmosphere was made of hydrocarbons, Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen. Living things (using photosynthesis) have changed this by using the Carbon Dioxide to make sugars and releasing Oxygen as a waste product. The free Oxygen then got into chemical processes with minerals in the Oceans to make Iron ores and slowly the Ocean and atmosphere changed to include free Oxygen. Nitrogen is very inert and while it is slightly involved in life processes its proportion was unchanged by life. Therefore the composition of the atmosphere is a changing dynamic balance resulting from the nitrogen, and carbon cycles of the planet.


Why does the nitrogen level in the atmosphere is higher than the oxygen level?

Because due to the over pollution and cutting down the tree's level of Oxygen is decreasing .The level of Nitrogen always remains constant in the atmosphere . The level of Nitrogen doesn't' depend on the level of the Oxygen level.
