It does - very slowly but surely. Gravity holds it down, and the Earth's magnetic field deflects the solar wind ... but neither one is perfect.

They don't fly away because of Saturn's gravity.
Why doesnt a balloon float with your air?
The air from your lungs has the same density as the air in our atmosphere. As a result a balloon inflated by a human using their lungs is unable to float.
How little gravity would it take until you floated up and away like a helium balloon?
No matter how little gravity, as long as it is still positive, you would not float. For that, you would have to have less density than the air. With zero gravity, both we and the air would float away into space.

How does the buoyant force acting on a rock differ in the air or space?
It differs by the amount of buoyancy the rock contains. In the air it is much more heavier. In space, it is much more buoyant. But if let off of the scale in water, it would plainly sink, and if let off the scale in space, it would float away into the universe.
Are we submerged in air or are we floating in air?
To float in air is to leave the ground. As the atmosphere stretches from the ground to the edge of space, I would say we were submerged in air.
