Most of the atmosphere's gas never escapes the planet. Most of the gas in our atmosphere is from natural sources.
They do not escape and have never escaped.
Crust
an electron loosely bound to its nucleus is called a free electron.
you have to be more specific you haven't even said how fast your travelling but the minimum speed you need to be travelling at to escape the atmosphere is 24,000 miles per hour
Air is an insulator, the higher the altitude the less air there is, therefore less insulation and the suns heat can escape easily. The higher the altitude the more the atmosphere behaves like a vacuum.
In a sense, yes. Gasses, like all matter, have mass and thus have weight in a gravitational field. The gasses are held in place by Earth's gravity. At the temperatures found in Earth's atmosphere, most gas molecules do no attain escape velocity, that is the speed necessary to go flying into space and not fall back to Earth. Light gas particles such as hydrogen and helium may attain escape velocity, but the most abundant gasses of Earth's atmosphere; nitrogen, oxygen, argon, water vapor, and carbon dioxide, are far more massive.
No it can't.
Earth's lighter gases such as Hydrogen and Helium will rise to the top of the atmosphere. Since they are very light, they will easily be knocked awry by the solar wind, the stream of charged particles coming from the Sun.
The layer of the atmosphere that releases particles of air into space is the exosphere.
The heaviest ones.
the escape velocity of moon is less than that of earth...so the gas easily escape out and hence moon has no atmosphere..
To be able to escape earth's atmosphere you need to achieve a velocity that is great enough to achieve sufficient energy to escape the earth's gravitational field strength.
Astronauts travel in space and escape earth's atmosphere by wearing gravity resistant suits and traveling to outer space in a space shuttle that is insulated against the elements.
No. To even reduce it by 75% you must travel out to 4000 miles.
i think you mean atmosphere they normally go about 200,000 miles an hour when leaving earths atmosphere
because earth has gas particles that can let helium go
The Earth's atmosphere is kept in place by gravitational pull the Earth exerts on particles in the atmosphere. But part of the Earth's atmosphere does float out into space. The part that is lost out into space is the extremely light particles like Hydrogen which can escape the Earth's gravity.
The helium atom does not form a diatomic molecule, unlike the main components of the atmosphere, nitrogen and oxygen, and it is a very light atom, actually the second lightest of all atoms (second only to hydrogen) and it is gravity which holds our atmosphere in place on the surface of the Earth, so the lighter the particle, the more easily it can escape into space.
