How does the atmosphere help keep Earth insulated and warm?

Asked by sammmmmyyyyyyyy

Answer (3)

The atmosphere helps some of the Sun's hot rays bounce off, we would be cooked up by how hot the Sun is if we had no atmosphere (and that happens in Africa and there IS a atmosphere). The atmosphere takes in most of the Sun's rays so we don't freeze to death. Our atmosphere is important and we should take care of it, not pollute it.

The atmosphere helps regulate heat from the sun. If the atmosphere didn't do that we would all be roasted chickens or potatoes xD

The atmosphere insulates Earth by trapping heat through the greenhouse effect, where gases absorb and re-radiate infrared radiation. This process maintains a stable temperature essential for life. Additionally, the atmosphere protects us from harmful solar UV rays.
