Question

What would happen to the Earth's hydrosphere if there were no atmosphere?

Answer 1

Weather happens in the atmosphere. However, without the hydrosphere there would be no water to evaporate. Therefore, no clouds or rain would form. The temperature of the Earth would rapidly start to rise once our atmosphere had disappeared. Without our atmosphere we have little protection from the Sun's heat. It would penetrate to the Earth's surface and cause the water to start boiling off into steam that would float off into space. Since we need water for survival, the lack of water from the hydrosphere would prevent all life source such as plants, animals, and humans from surviving.
