Question
What would have happened if there would have been no atmosphere around the earth?

Solution
Without an atmosphere, life would not be possible as the atmosphere protects us from harmful gases. We could not live without air present in the atmosphere. In the absence of the atmosphere, the earth would get so cold at night that we would not be able to survive. No CO2 and N2 for plants without atmosphere.
