What is the significance of the atmosphere in the life of our planet?

The atmosphere has several functions that are fundamental to our planet. We can say that it is the protection of the Earth from strong solar radiation. If it were not for this protective barrier, life in our world would not be found anywhere, even in water, because solar radiation would immediately kill all forms of life. Also important is the ability of the atmosphere to store and distribute heat through the movement of air (i.e. wind). In addition, the circulation of substances passes through the atmosphere, and we all breathe atmospheric air.
