The layer of gases that surround the Earth

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to stay warm on a chilly winter day with just a thin jacket. Just as that jacket wraps around you to help keep your body heat from escaping, the Earth's atmosphere envelops our planet, trapping heat and protecting us from the cold of space. In this analogy, your jacket represents the atmosphere, which consists of layers of gases like a fabric, each serving to insulate and protect, ensuring that the Earth maintains a temperature capable of supporting life, much like how your jacket keeps you warm and comfortable.
