Why are not all the layers of earth made from same materials?
gravity separated them by density, iron in the center water and gasses on the outside.
Do comets asteroids and meteors have an atmosphere?
No. They do not have enough gravity to hold on to the gasses.
How is gravity both a friend and enemy of a star?
friend- a star begins to form when the gasses and dust particles in the nebula clump closer together enemy- it gains mass. over time, the star will form a gravitational center.
What are two gasses common to the outer planets?
Hydrogen and Helium
Which gases were lost because earth's gravity was too weak?
Hydrogen and helium are the two lightest gasses. They are produced on or inside the Earth through chemical or radioactive processes. They are the most common elements in the universe, but not found in our atmosphere in significant quantities becuase they escape into space.

What are the structure and atmosphere of the earth?
It consists of various gasses held close to the surface of the Earth by gravity. Since it consists of gasses it has no structure, but the weight of the upper (all relative) gasses press down on the lower gasses: compressing them. Thus the pressure increases as you get closer to the surface (actually the center of the planet).
Gas and dust spins?
Yes, because of how light gas and dust the heavier particles will move to the center of the dust and gas cloud creating a center point of gravity which the lighter dust and gasses spin around spiraling into the center and as the center point of gravity of mass increases the gravity on the other particles increases. This increases the speed of the spiraling and can lead to the formation of asteroids or other celestial bodies.
How can you tell where a black hole is?
Look up and see if you see a black hole. Using X-rays is a great way to tell, also if you see hot swirling gasses spiraling around a common center of gravity that appears invisible that is also a good indicator
Does gravity react with gasses?
Yes - that's the reason Earth has an atmosphere.
Do comets asteroids and meteors have an atmosphere?
No. They do not have enough gravity to hold on to the gasses.
Common gasses in stars?
heleum
What allow Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune to keep most of the gasses in their atmosphere?
gravity
What does atmasphere mean?
An atmosphere is the sphere of gasses (like oxygen)held by a planet's gravity.
Why prevents stars collapsing under the force of their own gravity?
The pressure of the fusing gasses
How does Jupiter keep all its gas together?
Gravity keeps the gasses together. It is the same on Earth; the gravity of Earth keeps our atmosphere together.
