Question

why is it important for the atmosphere to trap some heat from the sun? it keeps the planet warm and livable it causes climate change it allows animals to undergo cellular respiration it creates a blanket to reflect sunlight

Explanation:

The atmosphere's ability to trap heat (green - house effect) maintains Earth's temperature within a range suitable for life. Without it, the planet would be too cold. Climate change is a negative consequence of an enhanced greenhouse effect, not the positive role of normal heat - trapping. Cellular respiration is related to oxygen and energy production in cells, not heat - trapping. The atmosphere doesn't create a blanket to reflect sunlight in the context of heat - trapping; rather, it absorbs and re - emits heat.

Answer:

It keeps the planet warm and livable
