Why is it important to know about the atmosphere?
The atmosphere protects us from UV and other short wavelength light that would otherwise do a lot of damage to the DNA of living organisms. The atmosphere is also important because it contains oxygen, which we and other living organisms breathe.
What do you want to know about the atmosphere?
As the altitude of air increases there is a decrease in atmosphere gases in the air—all the water and weather in the atmosphere are contained to the lower 30 km of atmosphere, 99% of the atmospheric gases are below 50 km in altitude, but trace atmospheric gases can trail out thousands of kilometers.
What are some three reasons that the atmosphere is important?
Three Ways That the Atmosphere Helps Living Things Survive on…
- Protection. The atmosphere blocks out harmful rays from the sun.
- Water. The Earth’s atmosphere contains water.
- Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide. Life on Earth needs the atmosphere to breath.
- Other Benefits. The atmosphere contains a large amount of nitrogen.
What is the role of atmosphere?
The atmosphere is a protective layer that safeguards the earth from the harsh conditions of the solar system. During the day, it prevents a sudden increase in the temperature of the earth and prevents the heat to escape to the outer space during the night. It keeps the average temperature of the earth steady.
What is the most important function of the atmosphere?
Atmosphere is essential for life on Earth as it supplies oxygen, water, CO2 and some nutrients (N) to living organisms, and protects living organisms from temperature extremes and excessive UV radiation.
What would happen without an atmosphere?
The lack of atmosphere would chill the Earth’s surface. We’re not talking absolute zero cold, but the temperature would drop below freezing. Water vapor from the oceans would act as a greenhouse gas, raising the temperature. However, some bacteria could survive, so losing the atmosphere wouldn’t kill all life on Earth.
What benefits Does our atmosphere provide to Earth?
The atmosphere supports life on Earth by protecting it from dangerous electromagnetic radiation, by creating and controlling weather and climate and by providing the gases that plants and animals need to breathe. The atmosphere is composed of the troposphere, the tropopause, the stratosphere,…
Why is the atmosphere important to all living things?
In addition to providing the oxygen and carbon dioxide necessary to support life on Earth, the atmosphere also blocks harmful radiation from the sun and traps heat to make the surface of the planet habitable.
Why is the atmosphere surrounding the Earth so important?
Why is the atmosphere important? Protection against the sun’s rays. The ozone layer protects life on earth from the harmful effects that excess solar rays can have. Filter of the solar radiation. The first leak occurs 88 kilometers from the Earth’s surface, where the atmosphere absorbs X-rays and some ultraviolet radiation. It allows climates. Allows radio waves to circulate.
What is the main reason why Earth has an atmosphere?
One reason is that the earth’s atmosphere acts as an insulating layer that protects the earth’s surface from the intense light and heat of the sun. The atmosphere protects us from UV and other short wavelength light that would otherwise do a lot of damage to the DNA of living organisms.
