The presence of $C{O_2}$ and other gases in the atmosphere produce green house effect, which in turn keeps the atmosphere warm. The warm atmosphere is very essential for survival of life on earth in the following ways:
(i) It is necessary for evaporation of water, formation of clouds, rainfall etc.
(ii) The warm atmosphere helps in rapid growth of plants, trees etc.
(iii) Warm atmosphere helps is biodexampleradation of dead plants and animals.
