The air around us is important to everyone. Without air, we couldn't live. Everyone understands that. But air is important in many other ways that are not always widely known.

For example, if we didn't have air, there would be no sound. Sound travels through air. Without air, there would be no fire. There would be no cars, cars need air to start. Without air, there would be no wind or clouds. There would be no weather, as we know it. The night time would be very cold and the days very hot. We would have to look for shelter (遮蔽)from the sun, as there would be no atmosphere (大气)to protect us from the sun's deadly rays(光线).
