Answer:
Nitrogen is the most important component of the atmosphere.
Explanation:
- However, nitrogen, which makes up around 78 percent of our atmosphere, is actually its most significant component.
- The second most prevalent gas, oxygen, accounts for around 21% of the atmosphere.
- The three gases nitrogen, oxygen, and argon make up the majority of the atmosphere on Earth.
- The troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere are the five layers that make up the atmosphere, which rises about 300 miles above the surface of the earth.
- The atmosphere of the planet is made up of 99 percent nitrogen and oxygen.
- The remaining gases are auxiliary elements that occasionally play a crucial role (Figure below).
- The majority of the atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen, with carbon dioxide making up a very significant but minor portion.

Answer:
Important component of the atmosphere:
- The atmosphere plays a significant role in keeping Earth habitable. Some of the Sun's harmful rays are prevented from reaching Earth by it.
- Earth is kept at a reasonable temperature because it traps heat. And life depends on the oxygen in our atmosphere.
- With argon, carbon dioxide, helium, neon, and other gases making up only trace amounts, nitrogen and oxygen make up 99 percent of the gases in dry air.
- While most life on Earth requires oxygen, oxygen does not make up the bulk of the planet's atmosphere.
- About 78% of the gases in the Earth's atmosphere are nitrogen, 21% are oxygen, 0.9 % are argon, and 0.1 % are other gases.
Hence, nitrogen is the most important component of the atmosphere.
