There are many ways in which the atmosphere protects us.

The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere we live in. It contains weather.

The stratosphere contains the Ozone Layer. This layer protects us from UV rays

The mesosphere has low temperatures and burns meteors. This stops objects in space that can harm the earth.

What will happen to hydrosphere and biosphere in the absence of atmosphere?

In the absence of an atmosphere, both the hydrosphere and biosphere would be highly compromised. Without an atmosphere to regulate temperature, protect against harmful radiation, and provide gases essential for life, water bodies would evaporate or freeze, and most life forms would struggle to survive due to lack of oxygen and protection from space-related hazards.


What does the magnetosphere protect people from?

The magnetosphere protects people from harmful solar wind and cosmic radiation by deflecting and trapping these high-energy particles. It plays a crucial role in shielding Earth's atmosphere and surface from these potentially damaging effects.


How would your lives change if earths atmosphere was damaged?

Our lives would be significantly impacted if Earth's atmosphere was damaged. It could lead to negative effects on our health, agriculture, and climate, potentially causing increased pollution, extreme weather events, and disrupted ecosystems. Adapting to these changes would require significant efforts to mitigate the damage and protect the planet for future generations.


Does the mesosphere protect earth from meteoroids?

Yes, the mesosphere helps protect Earth from meteoroids by burning up smaller meteoroids as they enter the atmosphere due to friction with gas molecules. This process causes them to disintegrate before reaching the Earth's surface.


How long would the Earth's atmosphere last without the magnetosphere and without the atmosphere how long would it take for humans to die?

Forget the atmosphere . . . if the magnetosphere went away, people would die horrible deaths and be largely gone in a couple of months. The magnetosphere helps carry damaging Solar particles to the south and north poles and then out into space. (Along with the Van Allen belt) If the atmosphere went away, people and animals would all die in about 10 minutes, except for SCUBA divers and firemen, who might last a quarter of a day.

What are some interesting things about the Moon's atmosphere?

The only thing that can be said about the Moon's atmosphere is that it has none, because its gravity is too weak to hold an atmosphere on its surface. Also, it doesn't have a magnetic field to protect an atmosphere from solar winds, which would slowly 'knock off' particles in the Moon's atmosphere until there were none left if it did have an atmosphere.
