The Earth's gravity is what prevents the atmosphere from escaping into space. Gravity pulls gases in the atmosphere towards the Earth's surface, keeping the majority of the air close to our planet. Additionally, effects like the Earth's magnetic field also play a role in protecting the atmosphere from solar wind erosion.
