Earth and Its Atmosphere: A Vital Connection
Earth, our home, is a dynamic planet rich in life, largely due to its unique atmosphere. Composed of nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), and trace gases, Earth’s atmosphere acts as a protective shield, maintaining the delicate balance necessary for life. It blocks harmful solar radiation, regulates temperature, and provides the oxygen we breathe. Without it, life as we know it wouldn’t exist.
The atmosphere has five layers—troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere—each playing a critical role in weather patterns, climate regulation, and space exploration. For example, the troposphere is where weather phenomena occur, while the ozone-rich stratosphere absorbs harmful ultraviolet rays.
