Why the atmosphere of earth moves as the earth orbits around the sun or why not that the earth loss it asmosphere as it moves in the space?

Not sure I got the question completely but here goes:
Gravity. Gravity is keeping our atmosphere close to us, in case you think there is some kind of a magic barrier where the atmosphere just stops existing and you're suddenly in space, that's not the case. The atmosphere continues and leaves particles in space all the time, it just gets thicker the closer to ground on earth you get.
I'm not sure what you mean by that first question.. Why the atmosphere moves? Moves along with the earth I presume, same reason as above then.
