The atmosphere traps heat on earth for life. It filters out harmful UV Rays from the sun and keeps earth at a sustainable temperature.

The atmosphere also protects living things on Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. A thin layer of gas called ozone high up in the atmosphere filters out these dangerous rays. The atmosphere also helps to sustain life of Earth.
