The atmosphere is a blanket of gases that covers the earth. It stays near the earth's surface by the Earth's gravitational pull.It retains the heat of the sun and prevents it from escaping back into space and helps maintain the moderate climate on earth. If there were no atmosphere around the earth, the temperature of the earth will increase during the day and decrease during the night.
