What holds the gases of the atmosphere near earth surface?

Gravity holds the gases of the atmosphere near Earth's surface. The force of gravity pulls the gases towards the Earth, preventing them from escaping into space.


Why is the atmosphere near the earth's surface densest?

The atmosphere is denser near the Earth's surface because gravity pulls the air molecules towards the ground, compressing them and increasing their density. As you move higher in the atmosphere, there are fewer air molecules above you, leading to lower pressure and density.

greenhouse effect


How is the atmosphere near the earth's surface warmed?

The atmosphere near Earth's surface is primarily warmed through the process of conduction, where heat is transferred from the Earth's surface to the air molecules in direct contact with it. Additionally, sunlight absorbed by the Earth's surface is re-radiated as heat, warming the surrounding air.


What is the force that holds air near earth surface called?

The force that holds air near Earth's surface is called gravity. Gravity is responsible for pulling air molecules towards the surface of the Earth, creating air pressure and keeping our atmosphere in place.


Why of the following includes all of the water on or near earth surface?

The hydrosphere includes all of the water on or near Earth's surface, including oceans, lakes, rivers, groundwater, and also water in the atmosphere and glaciers.


What is the distance from earth's surface to the end of earths atmosphere?

The Earth's atmosphere extends anywhere from 250-400 miles off the surface, depending on where you are standing. Near the equator, it is thicker due to the heat from the surface and cloud reflection, and the high moisture and humidity.
