yes ,earth's atmosphere is made up of a layer of gas. It is held in place by gravity, preventing it from flying away into space. The Earth's atmosphere protects life by absorbing UV radiation, holding in heat to warm earth's surface and reducing temperature extremes that can occur between day and night. The gases that comprise the atmosphere are commonly referred to as air, which is what all living things on earth breathe.
