The natural environment that affects life circumstances is known as the environment.
Environment comes from the Latin ambĭens ( "that surrounds" ). The concept can be used to name the air or the atmosphere . That is why the environment is the environment that affects living beings and conditions their vital circumstances.
For example: "The government announced various restrictive measures to prevent industries from polluting the environment," "The deputy presented a project for the cleanup of the environment in the river basin."
The environment as a set of conditions or characteristics
The conditions (physical, economic, cultural, etc.) of a place, a group or a time are also known as atmosphere: "I like the atmosphere of this bar," "The atmosphere is very complicated these days, with a lot of violence." and social disintegration" , "The rise of the leader to power can only be understood within the framework of the environment of those times, where nationalist and reactionary ideas predominated."
Another use of environment is linked to the class or social sector : "The bourgeois environments were opposed to the economic progress of the proletariat" , "The student environment is willing to demonstrate in the streets to ensure that their demands are heard."

The concept linked to homosexuality
Likewise, it must be made clear that the term environment is also used to refer to a certain homosexual location or neighborhood. In this way, for example, we speak of a nightclub to refer to one in which, as a general rule, homosexual men and women attend.
Another example of this is Chueca, which is a neighborhood in Madrid that is known throughout the world for being the area of the capital where the most gay, lesbian and transgender venues exist. Tolerance and freedom are the two values that are held as maxims in that place that has become one of the favorite spaces for both homosexuals and non-homosexuals when it comes to having fun.
Good environment and bad environment
Similarly, the expressions "good atmosphere" and "bad atmosphere" are used colloquially to refer to the comfort or lack thereof that is established in a meeting or even in an establishment. Examples of the use of both would be the following: "We went to the restaurant that was recommended to us and there was a very good atmosphere, thanks to healthy and fun people as well as a cozy decoration and exquisite food" and "I regret having brought all our friends together." Well, due to the personal problems that existed between them, a bad atmosphere was generated that made us all uncomfortable.
All this without forgetting that the adjectival phrase "ambient" is also commonly used to refer to that person who is identified as being very hospitable.
