What force hold earths atmosphere in place?

That's gravity. Near the surface air has a density of about 1.2Kg/m^3. Air isn't that lightweight as you might think. We usually just don't lift it, but push it away, which is much easier.


What would earths atmosphere likely consist mostly of without the presence of life?

If Earth did not have any life, its atmosphere would likely consist mostly of nitrogen, similar to the atmosphere of Mars or Venus. Volcanic activity would have likely contributed to the release of gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor. Sunlight and cosmic rays might also have influenced the composition of the atmosphere over time.


How might gases cause climatic changes?

Greenhouse gases that we are adding to the atmosphere are carbon dioxide and methane (mostly). These gases reduce the amount of thermal energy escaping into space, effectively warming the atmosphere. Too much warming heats the whole globe, global warming, which is causing climate change.


Where is gas useful?

Gases are useful for lots of things. you might need to specify on what gas it is?


What is atmosphetic?

It seems like you might be referring to the term "atmosphere." The atmosphere is the layer of gases that surrounds Earth and other planets. It is crucial for supporting life, providing oxygen, and regulating temperature.


Is earth weaker or stonger?

the earth is a place where people,animals and many more things live .I belived that if more people come into the earth it might start dropping down it is ok for now but it might happen


If each planet has thick atmosphere why cant you breath it?

The composition of a planet's atmosphere, including the presence of oxygen, is crucial for human respiration. Depending on the composition, a thick atmosphere might not contain enough oxygen for human survival, making it impossible to breathe. Additionally, other gases or compounds in the atmosphere can be harmful or toxic to humans.

Does mars have an atmosphere to support life?

Not one like earths but it does have a very thin carbon dioxide atmosphere and a reddish color sky caused by iron oxide dust. One day man might colonize Mars and one day we might make it support life but until then no .


How might burning fossil fuels affect the composition of gases in the atmosphere?

Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity releases carbon dioxide (and other gases). These change the composition of gases in the atmosphere. The present levels of carbon dioxide have increased from 280 ppm (parts per million) one hundred years ago to the present 400 ppm.


Why does Triton retains an atmosphere while Phobos does not?

Triton retains an atmosphere primarily due to its significant gravity and relatively low temperature, which allows it to hold onto gases like nitrogen. Its geologic activity, including geysers that release nitrogen and possibly other gases, also contributes to maintaining its atmosphere. In contrast, Phobos is much smaller and has insufficient gravity to retain an atmosphere, as its weak gravitational pull allows any gases to escape into space easily. Additionally, Phobos lacks significant geologic activity that could replenish any transient atmosphere it might have had.


Atmosphere with hydrogen and helium?

An atmosphere composed mainly of hydrogen and helium would likely be very thin and lightweight compared to Earth's atmosphere. These gases are light and tend to escape easily into space due to the planet's gravity. Such an atmosphere might be similar to that of gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn.
