### In the lessons

In science lessons the Earth's atmosphere contains mostly nitrogen and oxygen, protects us from the Sun's harmful rays, burns up small meteors, and holds the weather. Mars has a thin atmosphere; the Moon has almost none. In writing lessons, authors build atmosphere with description (dark, silent, creaking). Phrases: «Earth's atmosphere», «enter the atmosphere», «a friendly atmosphere», «create an atmosphere».
