Although both nitrogen and oxygen are essential to human life on the planet, they have little effect on weather and other atmospheric processes. The variable components, which make up far less than 1 percent of the atmosphere, have a much greater influence on both short-term weather and long-term climate. For example, variations in water vapor in the atmosphere are familiar to us as relative humidity. Water vapor, CO2, CH4, N2O, and SO2 all have an important property: they absorb heat emitted by the earth and thus warm the atmosphere, creating what we call the "greenhouse effect." Without these so-called greenhouse gases, the surface of the earth would be about 30 degrees Celsius cooler - too cold for life to exist as we know it. Though the greenhouse effect is sometimes portrayed as a bad thing, trace amounts of gases like CO2 warm our planet's atmosphere enough to sustain life.Global warming, on the other hand, is a separate process that can be caused by increased amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

What term describes the part of the atmosphere that can sustain life?
Exosphere
What essentials for life are found in earths atmosphere?
The Earths atmosphere protects the earth from meteors and it tgives us oxygen
How does the atmosphere make earths temperatures suitable for life?
because of fat dicks
Why is the Earths atmosphere needed for life?
because it keeps the air inside the earth
How does earths atmosphere make condtions on earth suitable for living things?
You have that the wrong way round, LIVING things have changed Earth's atmosphere to make it suitable for them. When Earth first came into being, the atmosphere was NOT like it is now, it could not sustain the life that exists today. Over Geological time tiny bacterial organisms generated the Oxygen that we have in our air today, and altered the whole environment of the planed in doing so. Thus the driving factor is LIFE not the atmosphere.
