cause they gather light and concentrate it.

Why are some telescopes launched into space?
Some of the best telescopes are in orbit because the earth atmosphere distorts the light from distant stars,which is something scientist and astronomers would rather avoid.
Why do rocks from space not strike us on earth?
if the earth did not have an atmosphere, than many rocks from space would have striked the earth's surface by now.
Are you in the earth or on the earth?
We are on the Earth's surface. To be in the Earth we would have to be underground. Although it doesn't look as if we are in space, the very thin blue sphere around Earth is our atmosphere. To enter space we would go through that atmosphere. :D
Why does the earth remain warm after sunset?
The surface of the earth holds heat, and the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere hold heat all through the night. If the earth had no atmosphere, then at night all the heat would escape out to space and the earth would be freezing.
Which surface would be easier to see Venus or Mars?
From Earth, Mars. We can see the surface with telescopes, because there are no clouds to obstruct our view. However, Venus is a desolate wasteland where the green house effect went wild, and now there are sulfur clouds and rain, and we cannot see the surface.

What would be the gravitational force on you if you were at a point in space a distance R the Earth's radius above the Earth's surface?
one-fourth of your weight on earth

The surface of the earth holds heat, and the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere hold heat all through the night. If the earth had no atmosphere, then at night all the heat would escape out to space and the earth would be freezing.
What would happen to the International Space Station if it were not moving sideways?
Earth's Gravity would pull it straight down to earths surface.
What would happen if the space station stop moving sideways?
Earth's Gravity would pull it straight down to the Earths Surface.
What would happen to the International Space Station if it were moving sideways faster than orbital speed?
It would fall to Earth's surface.
Do greenhouse gases warm the air near earth's surface by trapping carbon dioxide?
No, greenhouse gases warm the air near the earth's surface by trapping heat from the warm earth that would otherwise escape into space.
Why their is no air in space?
The atmosphere we breath is held round the earth's surface due to earth's gravity. Without this gravity, earth's atmosphere would disperse into space. Because our moon's gravity is weak, so there is no atmosphere on the moon.
What are small fragments that have entered to earth atmosphere and fallen to surface?
If the fragments had their origin in outer space, the fragments to be found on Earth would be called "meteorites".

From Earth, Mars. We can see the surface with telescopes, because there are no clouds to obstruct our view. However, Venus is a desolate wasteland where the green house effect went wild, and now there are sulfur clouds and rain, and we cannot see the surface.
