5 What has Earths atmosphere got that no other planet has that enables us to live?

Earth's atmosphere contain significant amounts of oxygen, no other planet in the solar system has it - it may well be that other planets in the galaxy do have oxygen. It's not just oxygen though; if the atmosphere was pure oxygen it would kill us very quickly. It's the combination of gases; oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, etc, etc know as AIR, together with its pressure of around 15 psi that enables us to live here on earth.


Does the moon have oxygen?

The moon does not have enough oxygen for us to be able to live there. If this does not fully answer your question then try visiting the NASA website for more detail.


How come the moon has less oxygen than earth?

Because unlike Earth, the moon lacks an atmosphere. It also lacks an electromagnetic shield. Because of this any atmosphere on the moon would over time be blown away by solar winds. This doesn't happen to earth because our electromagnetic field generally protects us from solar winds.


Why is oxygen such an important part of th Earth's atmosphere?

Oxygen is crucial for most forms of life on Earth because it is used in the process of cellular respiration to produce energy. It is also involved in various biochemical reactions within organisms. Additionally, oxygen plays a key role in the ozone layer, which protects Earth from harmful UV radiation.


Can you make air on Mars?

That depends on what the bubble is made out of. If you are talking about a soap bubble, no. There is only a virtual atmosphere on Mars - just a bit of this and that floating around. The pressure of just about any amount of gas applied to blow a soap bubble would burst it immediately. The soap film is only strong enough to make a bubble in a situation where there is some amount of atmosphere around it. On Earth, we have the pressure of the atmosphere all around us under normal circumstances. On Mars, forget it. Of course, if you constructed a pressure dome there, you could maintain the same sort of atmospheric pressure that exists naturally on Earth.

How does the atmosphere protect us from sunburn?

The atmosphere filters out most of the harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, especially the most damaging UV-B rays. Oxygen and ozone molecules in the atmosphere absorb and scatter this radiation, reducing the amount that reaches the Earth's surface and thus helps protect us from sunburn.
