Jupiter's Galilean moons and Earth's Moon are too warm to have retained any abundant gases, but cold Titan and warm but sufficiently massive Earth both have retained the nitrogen molecule.

The revised version used in today's Glory launch used cold, compressed nitrogen gas to break those frangible joints.

With Earth without sunlight, parts of ocean would remain liquid due to interior heat and nitrogen atmosphere would remain a gas - a very cold dense gas.

With the addition of sunlight, the surface warms, the warmed surface heats the nitrogen gas, and the gases become less cold and dense.

Water could be present in the cold dense nitrogen gas atmosphere, though CO2 probably would be mostly a solid at such cold temperatures.

So, deal gas with no actual volume has nothing to expand and condense which which is how we get convection as heated real gases mainly nitrogen and oxygen and water expand becoming lighter than air and so rise which spontaneously makes colder heavier real gases sink — in the fluid medium they comprise.

Created, for example, by taking out the whole of the Water Cycle and taking out rain from the Carbon Cycle and changing the real gases oxygen and nitrogen to ideal to take out heat transfer by convection which transfers heat away from the surface and sets up convection currents which bring cold air back to the surface, winds.
