Description

The atmosphere of Earth is the layer of gases, known collectively as air, retained by Earth's gravity that surrounds the planet and forms its planetary atmosphere. The atmosphere of Earth creates pressure, absorbs most meteoroids and ultraviolet solar radiation, warms the surface through heat retention, and reduces temperature extremes between day and night, maintaining conditions allowing life and liquid water to exist on the Earth's surface.
