The sun is outside of the atmosphere and doesn't interact with it at all. C. The atmosphere deflects the sun's poisonous elements. D. None of the above

Answer 1

The atmosphere absorbs the sun's energy and holds it as heat to warm the Earth

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the atmosphere also interacts sun radiations that comes in contact with through a process called molecular scattering. Light rays are very minute and there are alot of small molecules that float in the atmosphere and when light comes from the sun, the smaller molecules scatter the Ray's and it warm the Earth. Huge numbers of small molecules float in the atmosphere. There is a layer called ozone which absorb sun radiations.
