Define the atmosphere and explain the importance thereof
sp2606 [1]

An atmosphere is the layers of gases surrounding a planet or other celestial body. ... These gases are found in layers (troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere) defined by unique features such as temperature and pressure.

The Earth's atmosphere protects and sustains the planet's inhabitants by providing warmth and absorbing harmful solar rays. In addition to containing the oxygen and carbon dioxide, which living things need to survive, the atmosphere traps the sun's energy and wards off many of the dangers of space.

Earth's atmosphere is a thin blanket of gases and tiny particles: together called air. We are most aware of air when it moves and creates wind.
