Question
Explain why :
the earth without its atmosphere would be inhospitably cold.
✓

Answer

The atmosphere of the earth reflects the infrared waves emitted by the earth. So the heat from the sun remains on the earth and its atmosphere. If there is no atmosphere the infrared waves will be transmitted and the earth would be so cold that it would not be suitable for life
