Large enough to change earths atmosphere. Would everything seem to blow up. Would there be more space. Would the earth get bigger(if earths atmosphere) were to get bigger.

    There already is a lot of noble gas in the atmosphere: the third most common element in the atmosphere, at about 1% by volume, is argon.

    Why would the planet get bigger just because the gasses are different?

    The atmosphere is about the same as the skin of an apple. It's pretty irrelevant to the size of the planet.
