How does Earth’s atmosphere make it a better place to live?

The earth is surrounding by a blanket of air called atmosphere. This blanket of air is made up of many layers of gases. One of the most important gases in the Earth’s atmosphere is Oxygen. We need Oxygen to breathe. Another gas which plays a very important role is Ozone. It forms a layer in the atmosphere known as the Ozone layer. Ozone layers block some of the harmful UV rays of the Sun.

But did you know some manmade activities are harming the Ozone layer? We use gases such as CFCs(Chloro-Fluoro-Carbons) to make soaps, foams, pesticides, fire extinguishers, refrigerators, and air condition. These gases reach the atmosphere and destroy the Ozone layer getting thinner.

Note: Atmosphere :

The envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet.
