This atmosphere is responsible for 2 things - one is the twinkling of stars and if you were to look up at sky, point out to a star and say that's the position of the star... you are probably wrong. Let's understand this.           The presence of various gases, ions and dust particles in the atmosphere, makes the atmosphere more denser than vacuum and this density varies from place to place.

Why importantly trees?            Trees live in contact with many microorganisms in soil. These include fungi that trees need to survive.When trees capture carbon from the atmosphere, much of that carbon enters the soil to feed these microorganisms which in turn help in building healthy soil that supports life and stores carbon for a long time. One of the major compounds responsible for climate change is carbon-di-oxide. By increasing the green cover, more carbon-di-oxide will be captured and thereby reducing it's amount in nature and ...
