Yes, light molecules (hydrogen and helium) are constantly rising into the upper levels of the atmosphere and being displaced by heavier molecules. Earth's gravity is insufficient to hold a large volume of these gases as do the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn. Most of these molecules are ionized and create streams in the Earth's magnetic field, interacting with the flow of charged particles from the Sun. Fortunately, much of the hydrogen on Earth is bound into water and other compounds. Helium, however, is another story. Since it seldom reacts with other compounds, all of the helium that was originally here has been lost to space. The helium we use today has been generated by radioactive decay deep in the Earth, and is recovered from deposits of natural gas.
What else can I help you with?
What elements are named after things in outer space?
fire, water,air, earth
In which state is the outer space found?
Outer space is outside the Earth, not anywhere on the surface of this planet.
What in outer space is closest to earth?
The moon is the closest thing in outer space to the earth.
Is earth in outer space?
yes earth is in outer space so if someones says im gonna go to outer space no there going somewher else in space its because we have gravity so we will not float so yes earth is in outer space.
What if you run out of air in space?
There is no air in outer space.
What is last layer just before outer space?
The layer just before outer space is the exosphere. This is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere, where the air is very thin and transitions into the vacuum of space.
Is the moon located in outer space?
That depends on what you mean by "outer space". The moon is outside the Earth's atmosphere and therfore "in space" but it is orbiting the Earth and therfore hardly "outer".
Which layer of the atmosphere merges into outer space?
The layer of the atmosphere that merges into outer space is the exosphere. This is the outermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere where the air is very thin and gradually blends into the vacuum of space.
Is outer space and the universe the same?
Not quite; outer space means space beyond the Earth's atmosphere. The universe includes everything (including the Earth) - so you and I live in the universe, but not in outer space.
Do outer space has air?
no
Does it rain in space?
Not in outer space; but it does rain on Earth and Earth is in space so in a sense it does.
Why cant Sound waves in outer space cannot travel in outer space because?
No air. Sound is vibration is something- most commonly air, but sometimes water, metal, etc. There is no air in outer space to be vibrated.
