  According to google there is 5150000000000000000 kg of gas in earths atmosphere! It’s weird to think about weighing a gas but it does have a mass! The combined weight of all the air above us is what makes up so called “atmospheric pressure”!
  We’d be crushed under the atmospheric pressure of a gas giant like Jupiter!

  That depends on which gas you mean! If that is natural gas, the fossil fuel, there are over 7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas which have been discovered but not yet used, enough for at least 50 years…but if we do that we are going to heat up the planet through global warming even faster, so we need low carbon or zero carbon alternatives.
  If you’re talking about the atmosphere, that weighs about 5,150,000,000,000,000 tonnes, and it’s roughly 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, about 0.9% argon, 0.04% CO2, with some other trace gases in there tool.

  lots! There are some gases that are rarer, like helium, or are being used up faster than we can harvest them (like natural gas)
