Air molecules do escape into space it depends on how heavy or hoe light they are. However, lighter molecules of air have greater velocities while heavy molecules of air has less velocities were gravity pulls the air downwards.

why does air not go to space?

Air does not escape into space primarily due to Earth's gravitational pull, which holds the atmosphere tightly around the planet. The force of gravity keeps air molecules from gaining enough kinetic energy to overcome the gravitational barrier. Additionally, the atmosphere gradually thins out with altitude, and at a certain height, the density of air becomes extremely low, making it difficult for air to exist or escape into the vacuum of space.


Why does sound travel through the air?
