Earth’s first atmosphere was dominated by methane, ammonia, water vapor and noble gas neon but had limited oxygen. These gases combined with ancient sediments and rocks leading to changes in atmospheric composition due to chemical reactions with earth’s crust which speeded up formation of solar nebula.
