**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding Earth's Atmosphere**: The Earth's atmosphere plays a crucial role in regulating temperature. It acts as a blanket that helps to maintain a stable temperature. 2. **Conduction of Heat**: The atmosphere is considered a poor conductor of heat. This means that it does not allow heat to escape or enter rapidly. 3. **Daytime Heat Retention**: During the day, the Earth absorbs sunlight, and the heat is retained in the atmosphere. The slow escape of heat during the day helps to maintain a stable temperature. ...
