The Atmosphere. The earth is surrounded by layers of gases, our atmosphere. They are kept near the earthâs surface by gravity. Our atmosphere filters the sunlight and keeps dangerous rays from reaching our planet. Without such a filter it would get too hot during the daytime.At night it prevents heat from escaping so it does not get too cold.he Atmosphere.

In this sense, Earth's atmosphere is sort of the flip side of the Sun's atmosphere. The Greenhouse Effect. Most of the solar radiation that reaches the Earth or its lower atmosphere, where albedo from clouds and features on the ground come into play, is thus in the form of visible light. So what is the fate of that sunlight? Recall that, averaged over the surface area of Earth's globe, about 342 W/m 2 of energy reaches the top of Earth's atmosphere. Recall also that the peak of the Sun's EM emissions are in the visible light region of the spectrum.
