Answer:

78% nitrogen

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been long agreed upon that our atmosphere is highly abundant with nitrogen. Our atmosphere is composed of 78% nitrogen and then other gases follow such as 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, and 0.03% carbon dioxide with very small percentages of other elements.
