Besides providing oxygen to breathe, the atmosphere protects us from ultraviolet radiation (thanks to the ozone layer), meteors and meteorites (which burn up from the friction), and excesses of heat and cold (by spreading the sun's heat more or less equally around the Earth, and insulating us from the worst of it).

- The atmosphere also protects us from small meteorites which burn up when they reach the atmosphere. The moon is covered with craters from these direct hits.

What layer of the atmosphere is heated by the earths surface?
trophosphere
What is the air above the earths surface called?
The atmosphere
What happens to objects that enter the earths atmosphere?
the objects which enter the earths atmosphere are being pulled down towards the earths surface due to the earths gravity. And so it leads to falling falling of large objects from the space on the surface of the earth.
