Why does the wavelength response of the humans eye match so well with the visual window of Earth's atmosphere?

The human eye's sensitivity to wavelengths in the visual window of Earth's atmosphere is due to evolution adaptations during the development of the human eye. If infrared radiation were in abundance, then it is believed our eyes would be sensitive to infrared radiation.

no because there is no atmosphere and if there is no atmosphere tere is no air and we can't breathe and we die
Name the planets that have an atmosphere breathable by humans?
Earth
In which atmosphere do humans live most of their lives?
troposphere
What impact does earths atmosphere have on humans?
Lots.
Why are meteor showers not harmful to humans?
They burn high in the earths atmosphere.
Why the quality of air in the earths atmosphere largely depends on human activities?
The quality of air depends upon humans. What humans do will reflect in the atmosphere.
How do humans effect earths natural cycles?
with co2 and gassed rissing into the atmosphere
What greenhouse gas produced by humans activities has dramatically increased in earths atmosphere?
CO2; Carbon Dioxide
Is oxygen found outside earths atmosphere?
Yes. Earth's atmosphere is about 21% oxygen. Without it, the vast majority of life we see, including humans, could not exist.
What effects does oxygen have on the earths atmosphere?
Without its oxygen content the Earth's atmosphere would be composed almost entirely of nitrogen and would be chemically inert; oxygen causes the atmosphere to be chemically active (and breathable by humans).
How does Earths magnetic field benefit humans?
Earth's magnet field shields humans from dangerous radiation form the sun and protects the earth's atmosphere form the solar wind. Without the magnetic field, there would be no human life on earth.
What impact have humans on the air and atmosphere?
the use of fossil fuels by humans had tainted the air and atmosphere
How can the formation of the ozone holes in earths atmosphere affect living things?
The formation of the ozone hole is affecting the living things. The hole in ozone is causing UV to enter and affecting the humans.
How do humans intervene with earths changes?
gc
Why isn't the oxygen in the earths atmosphere used up by the breathing of humans and other animals?
It is constantly being replenished by plants, from the giant 100mtr trees to the tiny algae. These plants convert, by photo-synthesis, the carbon-dioxide breathed out by animals back into oxygen in the atmosphere.
