shieldsit from the Sun's harmful rays and from meteors.It also stops Earth from getting too hot or toocold.This blanket is called the atmosphere,andlife on Earth could not exist without it.Livingthings need to breathe the air in the atmosphereto stay alive.The atmosphere becomes thinner(contains less air)farther away from Earth,which is why it is hard for climbers to breathehigh up on mountains.If you could look at Earthfrom a spaceship,you would seethe atmosphere as a thin,bluehaze around the planet.  \n00The Moon does not have anatmosphere because the pullingforce of its
