The atmosphere is like a blanket that keeps Earth warm. It stops the sun from burning us and protects us from space rocks. Imagine wearing a cozy coat on a cold day, that's what it does for us every day!
Why We Need It
Without the atmosphere, Earth would be very cold at night and super hot during the day. It also helps keep out asteroids, which are big rocks from space.
Examples
- The atmosphere keeps us warm like a blanket at night.
- It breaks up space rocks so they don't hit us.
- Without it, we'd be like astronauts in space, very cold!
