The air is a mixture of gasses present on the Earth. For example oxygen that is present in the air assists us in breathing, a natural phenomenon in all human beings. The atmosphere is the layer of gases that protects the Earth from harmful Ultraviolet rays of the Sun. But, the ozone layer in the atmosphere is being damaged due to global warming.

Air is human-breatheable gas: oxygen and nitrogen. Atmosphere, in this comparison, is any gaseous mixture surrounding a celestial body, not necessarily oxygen or nitrogen. Air is found in Earth's atmosphere.

Air is a collection of different gases. Mainly nitrogen, and then oxygen. Gas is loosely bound atoms of an element or collection of such in compounds above the temperature required to make them liquid, and colder to make them solid.

Greenhouse gases are trace amounts that absorb infrared photons and re emit them in any random direction, thereby actually causing warming of the biosphere. Note that CO2 and methane, or CH4, are compounds. Even the oxygen is like a compound because it's not a single atom, but O2 (joined together).

Water vapor, or H2O, is also a greenhouse gas which obviously precipitates as rain, however, the warmer the air, the more it holds, before the rain, meaning more warming. Thus additional forced warming can be caused from extra water vapor, along with methane.

Earth's atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth and retained by the Earth's gravity.

It contains roughly 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen 0.97% argon and carbon dioxide 0.04% trace amounts of other gases, and water vapor.

This mixture of gases is commonly known as air.
