The Atmosphere
Earths atmosphere makes Earth very different from the moon or a planet without an atmosphere because it is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor and many other gases. For example the moon doesn't have an atmosphere so it receives a plentiful amount of meteorites. Unlike the Earth, the atmosphere prevents the meteorites to penetrate it because of the atmosphere. Since the atmosphere is made up of these gases, and mainly air it makes the Earth livable for any human beings.Then the development of the spectrometer allowed scientist to find other gases like Ozone and carbon dioxide.The atmosphere also has a high amount of other gases like water vapor, CO2, CH4, N2O, and SO2, which count the most in the atmosphere. Because they take in the heat emitted by the Earth.`Oxygen, to most plants and animals take oxygen directly from air, use it to release energy for their food. Without an atmosphere we wouldn't be able to live on Earth.
