Which force holds the atmosphere to the earth?
The force that holds the atmosphere to the Earth is gravity. Gravity is the force of attraction between all objects and it keeps the gases in our atmosphere close to the Earth's surface.
What is the atmosphere bound to the earth by?
The force of gravity binds the hydrosphere and lower atmosphere to earth.
What force pulls a spacecraft into Earth's atmosphere?
The force of Gravity.
What holds earth's atmosphere together?
the gravitational force holds its atmosphere together
How does the earth's magnetic field stop the atmosphere leaking away?
It's actually not the magnetic field, which stop the atmosphere from leaking away, but the gravitational field. The reason for the atmosphere to stay is, that the earth provides a constant amount of force relative to the mass of earth. And there is less force pulling the atmosphere into space, and the atmosphere stays with most force, but if the force pulling the atmosphere into space increased, some of the atmosphere would leak, but the closer to the ground you get the stronger is the gravity, and that's why it would take A LOT of force to counter that of Earth.
What keeps the atmosphere near the surface of the earth?
The gravitational force between the Earth and the atmosphere holds the atmosphere close, just like it holds you close to the Earth. (ground)
What force holds the layers of the atmosphere to the Earth?
Gravity.
What force holds the layers of the atmosphere of the Earth?
Gravity.
What force holds the layer of the atmosphere to the earth?
Gravity.
When an object is falling toward the Earth what force is pushing up on the object?
If the object is outside the earth's atmosphere, there is no force pushing up on it. If it is inside the earth's atmosphere, then air drag is pushing up on it.
Why does the atmosphere stay around the Earth?
The atmosphere stays around the Earth due to gravity. Gravity is the force that pulls the gases in the atmosphere towards the Earth's surface, keeping them from escaping into space.
Our atmosphere is attracted by earth's?
Yes, Earth's gravitational force holds our atmosphere in place. The gravitational force between Earth and the atmosphere prevents it from drifting off into space. The atmosphere is made up of gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, which are all kept close to Earth's surface due to gravity.
