The layer of gases that surround the Earth

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep a delicate balloon inflated without letting it pop or deflate. Just like the balloon's thin layer of rubber holds the air inside, Earth's atmosphere is a delicate layer of gases that surrounds and protects the planet. The atmosphere acts like the balloon's rubber, enveloping Earth and keeping the essential gases, like oxygen and nitrogen, in place, much like the balloon keeps the air contained, ensuring our survival and maintaining the right conditions for life.
