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

उत्तर
In the absence of an 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 chilly and difficult for humans to survive.
