There is no boundary where Earth's atmosphere is constrained by gravity. Many feel that astronauts orbiting above the Earth are weightless because they are far away from Earth's gravity , but weightlessness is actually caused by the free-falling of an object that is in orbit.

When earths early atmosphere formed which gases where lost because earths gravity was too weak?
Hydrogen and helium
Moon gravity vs earths gravity?
Moon gravity is less because the atmosphere and mass and the earths gravity is greater than the moon if you weight yourself in the earth and then you weighted yourself in the moon you would weight less in the moon you could actually float in the moon because of its atmosphere and mass
What holds the atmosphere to the earth?
The earths gravity. The more mass a body has, the more gravity, The Earth has enough mass to hold an atmosphere. The Moon, on the other hand, is not massive enough, and so does not have a high enough gravity, which prevents it from holding an atmosphere.
Can you escape gravity by going above the earths atmosphere?
No. To even reduce it by 75% you must travel out to 4000 miles.
Why is gravity strongest at Earth's surface?
Gravity is strongest at the earths surface because it's atmosphere is v dense and so the force inc.this happens because force is directly proportional to density.
Which marks the boundary where earths atmosphere is constrained by gravity?
magnetosphere.
Which area marks boundary where earths atmosphere is constrained by gravity?
magnetosphere.
What is the size of the atmosphere?
Earths atmosphere? 300 miles. There is no definite boundary.
What is the the earths moons atmosphere?
There is no atmosphere on the moon. There is insufficient gravity to keep an atmosphere there.
The earths atmosphere came from where?
Gravity pulled it in.
What is the difference between the earths atmosphere and the earths gravity?
The two are completely unrelated.
Is gravity a variable?
Gravity is a constant not a variable. (stays constant at 9.8ms/s in earths atmosphere)
What force holds the particles of air in earths atmosphere?
The Earth's gravity.
How does Earths atmosphere limit mountain height?
It doesn't. Gravity does, not air.
When earths early atmosphere formed which gases where lost because earths gravity was too weak?
Hydrogen and helium
What force holds the atmosphere to earths surface as it travels through space?
Gravity.
What boundary in earths atmosphere blends with space?
Exosphere. The layers of the atmosphere are: Space Exosphere Thermosphere Mesosphere Stratosphere Troposphere Earth
