Although we need some of the sun\u2019s radiation to survive on Earth, too much radiation would be deadly. The ozone layer\u2019s primary role is in preventing ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching our planet\u2014in fact, it\u2019s able to block 98% of UV light from hitting Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultraviolet radiation is dangerous for many life forms and ecosystems, causing skin cancers in humans like basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firebasestorage.googleapis.com\/v0\/b\/quran-miracles-a.appspot.com\/o\/atmosphere-article.jpeg?alt=media&amp;token=054c9484-6d28-4b15-aa46-1c0236d61cd4\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While our atmosphere blocks the dangerous radiation coming from the sun, it also keeps the good kind inside our atmosphere. This is accomplished through the greenhouse effect, which is when infrared radiation that passes the ozone is absorbed into greenhouse gas molecules, subsequently warming the Earth and making it habitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gases are then trapped in the atmosphere, meaning the Earth is able to keep a constant temperature. Without greenhouse gases, the radiation would hit Earth and bounce off; estimates say the average temperature on the planet without the greenhouse effect would\u2019ve been -20\u00baC (or -4\u00baF), making it impossible for most ecosystems to even exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are only two of many other features of the atmosphere, and for most of human existence, we didn\u2019t even know about them. It was only in the 19th and 20th centuries that mainstream science began to discover the role the atmosphere played in protecting Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yet, the
