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.

The innermost layer, the troposphere, contains most of the planet's weather and extends out to 10â15km above the surface. The next layer out, the stratosphere, is drier and less dense and extends out to about 50km. The Sun's UV light breaks down oxygen in the stratosphere to form the Earth's protective ozone layer. The mesosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere make up the remaining outer layers that extend out to about 100km.
