Mostly for the same reason you stay close to the surface of the planet - gravity!

Why does the atmosphere of the Earth float above the planet's surface?
Because it just does.
What planet has an oxygenated atmosphere?
Earth is the only known planet with an oxygenated atmosphere.
What planet is rocky and has an atmosphere made up on mainly nitrogen and oxygen it has on natural moon?
The planet you're referring to is Earth. It has a rocky surface and its atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%). Earth also has one natural moon, which is simply called the Moon.
Which planet is like earth in Temperature gravity atmosphere and water?
None. Only Earth has such characteristics. Venus, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have surface gravity similar to that of Earth, but have very different atmospheres and temperatures. Venus is much hotter with a crushing carbon dioxide atmosphere while the others have very cold hydrogen-helium atmospheres. Mars has the most Earth-like temperatures, but is still not very close. The warmest places on Mars are about as cold as the coldest places on Earth. The atmosphere is very thin and made mostly of carbon dioxide. Surface gravity is less than half that on Earth. The most Earth-like atmosphere belongs not to a planet, but to Titan, one of the moons of Saturn. Titan's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and methane (Earth's is nitrogen and oxygen). Titan is also the only other objects in the solar system with liquid on it surface, though it is liquid methane rather than water. Titan is extremely cold and has much weaker gravity than Earth does. Earth is the only planet in the solar system to have bodies of water on its surface.
What planet has nitrogen and oxygen in it's atmosphere?
It is none other than our own planet Earth, which has nitrogen and oxygen in its atmosphere.
What keeps Earth's atmosphere close to the surface?
The gravitational pull keeps the Earth's atmosphere close to the surface...
Why the earth atmosphere remains very close the Earth surface?
Due to gravitational pull to the earth's atmosphere.
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)
Why does the atmosphere of the Earth float above the planet's surface?

Most of the solar energy reaching planet Earth and its atmosphere is absorbed by what?
earths surface
What Layer Of The Atmosphere Is Nearest To the Earth?
layer close to the surface is the top part of the mantle
What layer of the atmosphere is the nearest to earth?
layer close to the surface is the top part of the mantle
What planet is similar to Earth's moon?
The surface of Mercury is a bit like that of the moon. There is no real atmosphere as the planet is too close to the sun and is not massive enough. It is pitted with billions of craters, from meteor impacts. Since there is no atmosphere, there is no weather to errode the features away over time caused by the impacts.
