The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation, warming the surface through heat retention (greenhouse effect), and reducing temperature extremes between day and night.
Planet earth doesn't "need" anything, nor does life on the planet. Some bacteria can exist by chemicals. HOwever for our existence and through others species existence plants takes away CO2 in the atmosphere and also replenishes it with oxygen. We need oxygen to breath. All animals need oxygen.
atmosphere
The troposphere is the only layer where life can exist
The moon has no atmosphere to support life.
You have it wrong way round, the atmosphere of Earth was created by the life on Earth. 4000 million years ago the atmosphere had no oxygen and was full of CO2, Nitrogen and Methane. However life came into existence in this atmosphere and over time has altered the atmosphere to what we have today. Therefore the composition of the atmosphere would not appear to be critical to life.
If there had been no gases, no life would be there. The atmosphere supports life.
Correct. Earth's atmosphere was necessary for the development of life and is essential for its continued existence.
Because it is the only planet that we know of having a atmosphere
Yes, there must be greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Without a greenhouse effect the planet would be unable to sustain life. The greenhouse effect is required for life as we know it.
Earth's atmosphere has a unique composition compared to other planets. It contains a significant amount of oxygen, which supports the existence of complex life forms. Additionally, Earth's atmosphere has an ozone layer, which protects the planet from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Lastly, Earth's atmosphere is denser than most other planets, allowing for the regulation of temperature and the retention of water on its surface.
It has little effect on the atmosphere. Most of its damage is to marine life and sea birds, which eat small pieces of plastic and die.
The atmosphere of planet Earth is a key factor behind the existence of life, and human survival. Layers such as ozone helps shield against ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The percent composition of oxygen also serves as critical to breathing. Lastly the natural greenhouse effect caused by the atmosphere has helped keep temperatures habitable.
Scientists are warning that if global warming continues then the existence of life on our planet is seriously threatened.
It depends on the mass and composition. It could have no effect at all to total extinction of all life.
To protect the earth from harmful ultraviolet light and other forms of radiation.Also to provide a medium for water vapor, heat and weather, as well as the gases we require to survive.for a biologist, the composition is closely dependent on the appearance of life and its evolution.The composition of the atmosphere determines the climate and its variations.
