@shuttersparks Earth is large, but our atmosphere isn’t very thick. Scary if that were to disappear.

@marathon0 Yes. The continued existence of our atmosphere depends on our star behaving itself. On the other hand, since our atmosphere has been here for a billion years, we know that our sun is very steady and stable. The sun has active periods and occasional outbursts but nothing that would strip away the atmosphere.

@shuttersparks
My understanding is that pollution can/may destroy our atmosphere. Isn’t that what’s causing Global Warming, a thining of our atmosphere? Simplistic but you get the gist.
