It depends on who you ask. Biologists will likely answer that the atmosphere is a closed system because it is mostly self-contained. Forces like solar winds, magnetic storms, and electromagnetic radiation, though, constantly bombard, penetrate, and interact with the atmosphere. So it is not, realistically, a closed system.
