Why can't space gas get on Earth?

The Earth's relatively thick atmosphere, and its magnetic field, may be plausible

partial explanations. But the main reason is undoubtedly the fact that there's

no such thing as "space gas".

More ideas: Actually there is "space gas". For example it's part of the nebulae from which stars and planets form. However there's not much of it near the Earth now.

Of course comets give off dust and gas and we see "space dust" burning up in our atmosphere as meteors.

Probably very small amounts of gas do enter our atmosphere.

Also, there's the "solar wind" which is a gas plasma.

Overall though, I agree that there's not really any significant amount of "space gas" in the vicinity of Earth.

Can gas exist in space?

Yes, gas can exist in space. The interstellar medium, which fills the vast majority of space, consists of gas and dust particles. Stars are also made up of gases like hydrogen and helium. However, since space is a vacuum, these gas particles are very spread out compared to the atmosphere on Earth.
