  • The atmosphere is an insulating blanket protecting the Earth. It softens the intense light and heat of the Sun. Its Ozone layer absorbs the most deleterious wavelengths of the Sun's ultraviolet rays and thus protects living organisms from extinction.  
  • The atmosphere is bound to the earth by gravity. Satellites like the moon, who have very low gravitational power, cannot and do not hold an atmosphere.  
  • The earth presents a hospitable environment for life, almost solely because of its atmosphere. Many plants reproduce by pollen carried by winds. Birds can fly only because of the air, and the water cycle of the earth is maintained through the atmosphere.  
  • The atmosphere diffuses sunlight as well, giving blue skies and the reds, pinks, oranges, and purples of sunrise and sunset.
