An atmosphere (New Latin atmosphaera, created in the 17th century from Greek ἀτμός [atmos] "vapor"[1] and σφαῖρα [sphaira] "sphere"[2]) is a layer of gases that may surround a material body of sufficient mass,[3]and that is held in place by the gravity of the body. An atmosphere may be retained for a longer duration, if the gravity is high and the atmosphere's temperature is low. Some planets consist mainly of various gases, but only their outer layer is their atmosphere

(taken from wikipedia obv)

Atmosphere =/= oxygen

:)

I'm sorry but, what does =/= mean? Because if it means "equals" then I already stated that in my last comment...

it means doesn't equal
You don't need oxygen to call it an atmosphere - just some type of gas held by the gravity of a planet

oho! thank you for the clarification and excuse me for any inconvinience caused by my comment.

I actually checked out wikipedia before posting but My english is kinda... slacky lately and the swedish edition is like a 10 row summary...

can't live in too high temperature, much like humans.

When exacly did i say this? I was talking about life not being able to exist because of having no atmosphere, so they cannot do procceses like respiration and brething needed to survive.
Tempreture is a different issue. It is believed meteors brought life to Earth, and has evolved to combat changes on Earth e.g. distance from the sun. So theoretically life could survive in most temperatures (Not towards absolute 0 and excessive heat (Supernova))
Alien life could take on any form imaginable, we have only evolved to suit our purpose's on Earth, these purpose's would vary on other planets causing different evolutionary changes in life forms e.g. high core temperature to survive in heat.

As far as I understood (from wikipedia) the atmosphere is also somewhat protective from the sun and regulates the temperature on Earth.

Ofcourse this may only apply for earth (as it's actually the ozone layer (which is part fo the atmosphere) and other atmospheres may not have ozone layers).

If so, I apoligize.

Sorry if you thought i was having a angry moan at you, this was not the case.
This is my understanding
Ozone is acutally a layer of atmosphere that blccks harmful UV rays which causes skin cancer.
It is the ammount of green-house gasses in the atmosphere that control heat different atmospheres might have different amounts causing a change in tempreture.
-.- stupid A- level chemistry/physics. we seem to have gone off topic :P

This states that other life forms also need oxygen to survive and can't live in too high temperature, much like humans. I'm just saying that all life forms may not need an atmosphere to survive because they may not be like the human race.

Well you also nee Water to live upon, so who knows. Also Humans found another planet with Water on it.

You don't need water - there's always beer ...

Actually all life needs water to survive. My Guess is Mars does have water in it, the Polar Ice Caps should prove something more.
