If the space between outer ring of the atmospere and the surface of the earth is getting less, the sun penetrates quicker.

No, but it is an interesting rationalization.
If anything one could reason that the depth of the atmosphere is likely to increase due to the documented increase in the average temperature.
I am not suggesting this is happening either. It is way more complicated than my short remark.

If the atmosphere, i.e. roughly 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen, was to disappear in space, we would notice it pretty soon since the average pressure would drop from 1013 hPa (29.9 inches of mercury for US readers). This is not happening and we don't have any reason to believe it will. This drop of pressure would have tragic results on our life long before it would be so thin as to represent a danger from the sun's radiations since most of them are diverted not by the atmosphere but the magnetic field of the earth.
