Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Earth's atmosphere plays a crucial role in reducing ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, trapping solar heat to maintain a temperature range that supports life, and regulating the climate. This is achieved through the presence of the ozone layer which absorbs harmful UV radiation, greenhouse gases that trap heat, and the overall composition and dynamics of the atmosphere that contribute to weather patterns and climate regulation. Choices A, B, and C are not functions of the Earth's atmosphere.
