प्रश्न
If the earth did not have atmosphere, would its average surface temperature be higher or lower than what it is now? Explain.

उत्तर
In the absence of atmosphere, there would be no greenhouse effect on the surface of the Earth. As a result, the temperature of the Earth would decrease rapidly, making it difficult for human survival.
