Water vapor and dust particles are highly important in the atmosphere. 

Their importance has been described as follows:

1. The importance of water vapor: 

1. Water vapor absorbs some part of the Sun rays coming from the sun. 

2. It stores the heat radiated out by the earth. 

3. Water Vapor acts like a blanket for the earth, causing the earth to be neither too hot nor too cold. 

4. Condensation of water vapor results in precipitation. 

2. The importance of Dust particles: 

1. Due to dust particles, the sky appears blue in colour. 

2. At sunrise and sunset, the colour of the sky appears to be red due to dust particles. 

3. Dust particles work as a nucleus in the formation of fog, mist and haze. Water vapor is found around them.
