Dear student
The atmosphere prevents the sudden increase in temperature during the daytime. Also, at night it helps to maintain an average temperature by slowing down the escape of heat from the Earth surface to outer space. ... - In this way, the atmosphere acts as a blanket to the Earth's surface.
