the thin skin of air standing between every planet and total oblivion.

means a layer of gases held around a celestial body by gravity, thick enough to breathe, burn up meteors, or crush a submarine of your choosing.

from from greek atmos (vapor) plus sphaira (sphere) — coined by 17th-century astronomers describing the misty halo they saw wrapped around the moon and planets.
