"there is no liquid in the earths atmosphere. There are only gases. Nitrogen makes up the largest percent. approx. 72% I believe" ...I'm sorry to disappointed you but you know those things called clouds? They aren't steam, they're water molecules suspended in the gases that make up the air. That's also what humidity is, the level of water suspended in the air. By water I mean the liquid form of H2O as opposed to Steam or Ice.

How does the atmosphere keep the earths temperature moderate?
The Earth's atmosphere works to keep the planet warm in the same way as a greenhouse. Warmth comes in the form of the sun's rays as it passes through the atmosphere. It is then kept from escaping back into space by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane and even water vapour.
