The Importance of the Atmosphere for Life
History of Miguel Farias - Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil
Atmosphere: The atmosphere plays crucial roles in sustaining life, such as filtering harmful ultraviolet rays through the ozone layer , protecting against meteorite impacts , and regulating the environmental temperature compatible with life through the greenhouse effect . These characteristics help create suitable conditions for life.
The existence of the atmosphere is possible due to the size and mass of the Earth, which generate sufficient gravitational attraction to keep this layer of gases attached to its surface. Without this gravitational force, the atmosphere would disperse into space.
