Question

5. Without atmosphere, the earth would have been very hot during the
day and cold at night. Do you agree? Give reasons.​

Answer 1

Answer:

If there were no atmosphere around the earth, the temperature of the earth will increase during day and decrease during night. In the absence of atmosphere around the earth, it will be like a moon. There would be no life, no winds, no rains, no fires, no protection against harmful solar radiations. Due to absence of atmosphere around the moon, the temperature ranges from -190°C to 110℃.

Air is a bad conductor of heat. The atmosphere has an average temperature of the earth almost steady during the day and night. It prevents sudden increase in temperature during the day time. Also, it decreases the rate of escape of heat during night time.
