Earth's Atmoshere

Earths atmosphere is different from many other planets and moons atmosphere because most other planets don't even have an atmosphere protecting them. Our atmosphere not only protects us from meteorites but it also keeps us alive with the basic components of nitrogen and oxygen that keeps us breathing. Other planets with no atmosphere don't have these components so they are not able to support any life on there planet. When meteorites hit other planets they just hit and create a crater that stays forever but when a meteorite hits our planets atmosphere the friction from it just burns up the meteorite. Once in awhile one will hit our surface causing a crater but in time erosion will get the best of the crater and it will be just a mere memory.
