Question

Why is atmosphere important for us?

Answer 1

• We breathe in oxygen which is one of the components of atmosphere. 
• We breathe out carbon dioxide, which in turn is taken in by plants in their respiration. 
• The atmosphere prevents harmful rays of the sun from reaching us. 
• The green plants take in carbon dioxide, use sunlight and water to photo synthesise and we get delicious fruits, vegetables, and grains from them. 
• These give us proteins, carbohydrates, sugars, fats, minerals and other nutrients that we need.
• The atmospheric winds transport water from the oceans deep into the continents in the form of rain. 
• Atmospheric winds erode rocks and are responsible for the formation of many kinds of soils with whose fertility we grow many kinds of crops. 
• Atmosphere helps in cooling monsoon rains.
•  Atmosphere helps in diffusion of perfumes and helps in the travelling of sound waves. 
• Thus we can say atmosphere is important for us.
