The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It contains variable quantities of suspended aerosols and particulates that create weather features such as clouds and hazes.
- The atmosphere serves as a protective buffer between the Earth's surface and outer space.
- It shields the surface from most meteoroids and ultraviolet solar radiation, reduces diurnal temperature variation – the temperature extremes between day and night, and keeps it warm through heat retention via the greenhouse effect.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Atmosphere of Earth article was read about 440,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 84 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
