Atmosphere is the mood or emotion that is conveyed by the setting. A large, decaying Gothic castle in the midst of a rain and lightening storm has a foreboding atmosphere. A small cafe will smell like it, be lit appropriately, and have just the right level of appropriate music in the background (blending in with the sounds of the staff and diners). It is warm and intimate, and the setting has been manipulated to create the proper ambiance (atmosphere) for the patrons' enjoyment. In literature, we'll see the author "paint" the scene with words that describe the "feel" of a place. He'll say how things look, smell and sound. He'll appeal to all the reader's senses, or as many as he can, and he does this to draw a person into the story and make it more "real" for the reader.
