What exactly are you referring to? Technically speaking, any substance on earth that can be heated to a point of evaporation will become a gas. Do you mean elements that are in a gaseous state on earth, or compound gases? If you mean the latter, it's a very, very large number. The main ones that make up the atmosphere, however, are nitrogen, oxygen, and argon (elements), and carbon dioxide and water vapour (compounds).

Yes I say there are one to many gases out their, Given the natural variability of the Earth’s climate, it is difficult to determine the extent of change that humans cause. In computer-based models, rising concentrations of greenhouse gases generally produce an increase in the average temperature of the Earth. Rising temperatures may, in turn, produce changes in weather, sea levels, and land use patterns, commonly referred to as “climate change.” gases are accumulating in Earth’s atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures and sub-surface ocean temperatures to rise. Temperatures are, in fact, rising. The changes observed over the last several decades are likely mostly due to human activities, but we cannot rule out that some significant part of these changes is also a reflection of natural variability.”
Good luck!!!!!

a lot but the most common is nitrogen which makes up about 80% of the atmosphere, then oxygen which makes up about 20%, carbon dioxide: 0.04% approx then there are the rare noble gases such as argon which take up about 0.01%
Of course there are many, many others too but this is the main composition of the atmosphere.
