life is important!!!!!!!!!!!!
The atmosphere protects Earth like a big blanket of insulation. It absorbs the heat from the sun and keeps the heat inside the atmosphere helping the Earth stay warm, called the Greenhouse Effect. It also keeps the overall temperature of the Earth fairly steady, especially between night and day. So we don't get too cold at night but not as cold at night so we can get warmer at day. There is also a portion of the atmosphere of ozone. Ozone helps the Earth from the sun's radiation. The atmosphere also helps form our weather patterns and climate. The weather keeps too much hot air from forming in one place and causes rainfall and storms. The atmosphere is the air that plants and animals need to breath so they can survive. All of these things are important to life and Earths ecology.
