14 DAY TRIAL // You may not know it yet, but you love and adore our planet's atmosphere. Mostly because it helps sustain life.
The video above explains how, as the time passes, bits and pieces of our planet's atmosphere are bidding us farewell and heading into outer space.
Granted, gases such as hydrogen and helium are the ones which typically embark on such journeys, yet their being extremely light does not mean that they won't be greatly missed once they are gone.
Rest assured that it will probably take billions of years before the Earth's atmosphere remains but a distant memory. Still, once this happens, odds are our planet will look fairly similar to a barren rock.
One can only hope that, by the time our atmosphere is gone, human society will have figured out a way to inhabit other planets.
