because the atmosphere contains water vapor, which causes it to rain on earth and it contains oxygen so we could breathe and it also contains nitrogen for the nitrogen cycle. the atmosphere is also important because it has carbon dioxide so the plants could "breathe" and another reason is that it has the ozone layer, which protects us from the sun's harmful rays.

Describe 2 ways in which the atmosphere is important to life on earth?

The three reasons why the atmosphere is important is that the atmosphere traps heat from the sun, that way it keeps us warm and the ocean from freezing up. Also is important because it helps you from deadly rays from the sun like UV rays. Lastly it is it important because it helps you breath by giving Oxygen to us, then us letting put Carbon Dioxide to the plants and trees, and the plants give us Oxygen!!!! Its the Circle of Life!

What is the lowest level of earths atmoshpere?

The lowest level of Earth's atmosphere is called the troposphere. It extends from the surface up to an average altitude of about 8 to 15 kilometers (5 to 9 miles) depending on the latitude, with variations at different locations and times. The troposphere is where most weather phenomena occur and contains the highest concentration of gases that we breathe.


What is the thinnest layer of earths atmosphere?

The atmosphere layer that is thinnest in size is the upper layer, the exosphere. 1. The troposphere is the first layer above the surface and contains half of the Earth's atmosphere. Weather occurs in this layer. 2. Many jet aircrafts fly in the stratosphere because it is very stable. Also, the ozone layer absorbs harmful rays from the Sun. 3. Meteors or rock fragments burn up in the mesosphere. 4. The thermosphere is a layer with auroras. It is also where the space shuttle orbits. 5. The atmosphere merges into space in the extremely thin exosphere. This is the upper limit of our atmosphere.


What is the name of the layer of earth's atmosphere?

Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, and Exosphere are 5 layers of earth's atmosphere.
