Why doesn't mercury get sucked in the suns gravity?
That is impossible because the perimeter of the sun is where the gravity is. And the atmosphere is not where the gravity is.
Why is there no gravity outside your atmosphere?
There certainly is gravity outside the atmosphere. For example, it is gravity that keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth, and the Earth in orbit around the Sun.
What layer has gravity on the sun's atmosphere?
inner core radition
Does mercury have enough gravity to have an atmosphere?
no, it's way too close to the sun to hold onto an atmosphere without the sun's gravity riping it apart, plus the solar winds are too strong for mercury to hold it's atmosphere.
What keeps the atmosphere around the earth?
A magnetic field holds atmosphere to the planet. Without a magnetosphere the solar wind from the sun will blow the atmosphere away. That is why our planet still has an atmosphere, we have the magnetic poles.
What planet doesn't have enough gravity to have an atmosphere?
Mercury - the closest planet to the sun. Solar wind and radiation from the sun also blast off some of Mercury's minuscule atmosphere (Mercury's atmosphere is sometimes referred to as an exosphere)

Do asteroids have atmospheres?
The asteroid belt, is a "collection" of asteroids circling the Sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. A collection cannot have an atmosphere. A single asteroid does not have enough mass to "hold" on to an atmosphere.
What keeps us from floating off into the sky and keeps the planets in orbit around the sun?
gravity?
What planet has no atmosphere because it was burned off by the sun?
Mercury is the planet that has no atmosphere. Its close proximity to the Sun and relatively weak gravity have caused any atmosphere it once had to be burned off and lost into space.
What is the Earth's moon atmosphere like?
The Moon's atmosphere is like . . . nothing. There isn't one. The Moon does not have enough gravity to hold onto an atmosphere while the Sun is successfully making any atmosphere dissipate into space.
