Genesis 1:6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
We're taught that the earth is made of a molten core and I would imagine that when that molten core was set in its position away from the sun, tilted on its axis, and set to revolve at a consistent speed, it was steaming uncontrollably.
We're taught that evaporation causes the rain. If there weren't a limited atmosphere, that evaporation would never cause rain. It's like this is where God put the lid on the kettle and caused evaporation and condensation to do their work. In other words, God set up the ecology of Earth.
Enduringword.com is one of the commentaries I used this morning. It gives us this look at the affect of God's work.
i. It would serve as a global greenhouse, maintaining an essentially uniformly pleasant temperature all over the world.
ii. Without great temperature variations, there would be no significant winds, and the water-rain cycle could not form. There would be no rain as we know it today.
iii. There would be lush, tropical-like vegetation, all over the world, fed not by rain, but by a rich evaporation and condensation cycle, resulting in heavy dew or ground-fog.
iv. The vapor blanket would filter out ultraviolet radiation, cosmic rays, and other destructive energies bombarding the planet. These are known to be the cause of mutations, which decrease human longevity. Human and animal life spans would be greatly increased.
v. A vapor blanket would provide the necessary reservoir for a potential worldwide flood.

Notice.... it's also setting up the mechanism for the flood of the time of Noah.
This was the second day [or event] of creation.
