How does the earth hold its Atmosphere?
With a force called gravity. Each atom and molecule of the atmosphere has an atomic weight, which keeps it from floating away into space.
What keeps us from floating into space?
The force that keep's us (or you) is the gravity.
Identify some effects of the gravitational force exerted by earth?
The Earth's gravity keeps the moon in orbit and also keeps the air in the atmosphere from leaving into space. Finally, it is what makes things fall down instead of just floating in midair.
What keeps the Moon from floating away?
The Earth's gravitational force keeps it from moving away into outer space. (* Gravity is a mutual force of attraction between matter, so the Earth pulls on the Moon while the Moon pulls on the Earth.)
Which force keeps the space station in orbit?
The force of gravity keeps the space station in orbit as well as inertia that keeps the space station moving in a straight line.

The force that keeps objects from floating into space is what?
Gravity.
Why does the air not not float into space?
The gravitational attraction of the Earth keeps the atmosphere from floating off into space
What keeps us from floating into space?
The force that keep's us (or you) is the gravity.
What force keeps the moons from floating away from the planets?
what keeps the moon from flying off into outer space
The force that keeps objects from floating off into space is known as what?
Gravitational Force
What causes rivers to run downhill?
The same gravitational force that keeps you from floating into space.

Is gravity oxygen?
No, oxygen is a gas that is part of the several gases that make up the atmosphere we breath. Gravity is the force that not only keeps our atmosphere from disappearing into space, but keeps our feet firmly on Earth's surface.
What keeps the moon close to earth?
The same thing that keeps you from floating out into space. Gravity.
