Besides providing oxygen to breathe, the atmosphere protects us from ultraviolet radiation (thanks to the ozone layer), meteors and meteorites (which burn up from the friction), and excesses of heat and cold (by spreading the sun's heat more or less equally around the Earth, and insulating us from the worst of it).
About 50% of the sun's radiation that reaches Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The remaining energy is either reflected back to space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
The layer closest to the Earth's surface is the troposphere. It contains most of the atmosphere's mass and is where weather events occur.
The blanket of protective gases that covers the Earth's surface is the atmosphere. It is composed of various gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and others, which help regulate the planet's temperature and protect it from harmful solar radiation.
The atmosphere helps sustain and protect life on Earth's surface by trapping heat from the sun, moderating temperature extremes, and blocking harmful radiation such as UV rays. It also helps regulate the water cycle by holding water vapor and enabling precipitation, supporting diverse ecosystems and life forms.
The thin layer of air that protects the Earth's surface is known as the atmosphere. It is composed of different gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, that help regulate temperature, protect from harmful radiation, and maintain the conditions necessary for life to exist on Earth.
Thermosphere, it is also the atmosphere with the highest temperatures.
