The atmosphere is the blanket of gases which surrounds Earth. Without the atmosphere there could be no life on Earth. It is held near the surface of the planet by Earth's gravitational attraction. It is made up of a mixture of gazes, azotes 78°/°, Oxygen 21°/°, less than 1°/° of steam. It reaches over 1000km above the surface of the planet.

The atmosphere contains the air we breathe, protects life from harmful radiation from the Sun and keeps the climate on Earth moderate compared to that of other planets.
