CHAPTER 1
WHAT IS THE ATMOSPHERE?
Earth’s atmosphere is a blanket of gases that surrounds the planet. From space, our atmosphere looks like a thin blue band of air. The atmosphere has several purposes. It gives plants and animals the carbon dioxide and oxygen they need to survive. The atmosphere protects the planet by acting like a shield, blocking harmful radiation and speeding asteroids from outer space. It also helps to control the amount of the sun’s energy that reaches Earth’s surface. The gases in the atmosphere help to moderate Earth’s temperature. They keep it from becoming too hot or too cold for life on Earth.
