The atmosphere is the layer of gases surrounding Earth that is held in place by gravity. It protects life on Earth by absorbing most of the harmful radiation from the sun and regulating temperature through various processes. It is composed mainly of nitrogen and oxygen, with trace amounts of other gases.

For example, if the overall setting is stormy and ominous, use words that describe the approaching (or present) storm, such as "stormy" and "grey" and "threatening".
