The air on Jupiter and Saturn, for example, is made up of nearly 100 percent diatomic hydrogen (H2) and helium (He), with small contributions of methane (CH4) and other chemical compounds.

Answer:

well it really depends air on Jupiter and Saturn is made of nearly 100% H2 and He and some CH4. Also, remember Gravity plays a key role as the more the gravitational pull the closer and lower the particles are to the surface. e.g on sea level O2 is plenty due to the gravitational pull, but in high altitudes the O2 is less due to gravity. Apart from that air is Airy on all planets.
