How is the atmosphere of earth and Mercury alike and different?

Both Earth and Mercury have atmospheres, but they are very different. Earth's atmosphere is dense and rich in oxygen, suitable for supporting life. Mercury has a very thin exosphere composed mainly of oxygen, sodium, hydrogen, and helium, which is not conducive to sustaining life.


What are living things that support life on earth?

Living things that support life on Earth include plants, which produce oxygen through photosynthesis, and bees, which play a key role in pollinating plants for reproduction. Additionally, bacteria are crucial for nutrient cycling in ecosystems and fungi help in breaking down dead organic matter.


How does the sun help support life on earth?

All life on Earth relies on energy to survive. With the exception of some life forms that survive on chemical energy created by the heat from the core of the planet, all the energy life uses comes form the Sun.Plants capture sunlight in a process called "photosynthesis" and make food (sugars) with it. Plants are then eaten by animals - this is called the food chain. The energy in this food chain is in the main sunlight and this is how the Sun supports (it does not help support it is the basis of) life on Earth.


Why are the layers in the earth's atmosphere important for the planet?

The layers in Earth's atmosphere play a crucial role in maintaining the right temperature for life on the planet. They also help shield the Earth from harmful radiation from the sun and outer space, and they trap heat to keep the planet warm enough to support life. Additionally, the different layers create diverse habitats for different forms of life.


Will we ever run out of air on Earth?

No, we will not run out of air on Earth. The Earth's atmosphere contains a constant supply of oxygen and other gases that support life.
