Gas particles (atoms, molecules) composing the atmosphere of a planet have a mass, therefore they are trapped by the gravitational field of the planet. This is not only true for giant planets but applies to all planets with atmosphere.
What else can I help you with?
Why doesnt the gas on a gas giant planet escape into space?
For the same reason that our atmosphere on Earth does not escape into space - gravity.
Why can't the atmosphere of gas giant planets escape into space?
Where a planet or moon has an atmosphere, it is the gravity of the moon or planet that holds the atmosphere on the planet or moon.
Why doesnt the gas on a gas giant escape into space as it have on mercury?
because the gravity keeps the giants planets' gases from escaping.
Why doesnt the gas on a gas giant escape into space as it on mercury?
because the gravity keeps the giants planets' gases from escaping.

The atmosphere of the gas giant planets cannot escape into space because?
the gas giant planets have strong gravitational pulls that hold on to their thick atmospheres. Additionally, the high escape velocity prevents the gases from escaping into space. The cold temperatures of these planets also help in maintaining the integrity of their atmospheres.
What two planets have giant storms in their atmosphere?
Jupiter and (sometimes) Neptune.
How does the composition of earth's atmosphere differ from the composition of the atmosphere of the gas giant planets?
The Gas Giants have a deep gas atmosphere and earth have a not so deep atmosphere
How does the compositions of earths atmosphere differ from the composition of the atmospheres of the gas giant planets?
The Gas Giants have a deep gas atmosphere and earth have a not so deep atmosphere
How does the composition of Earth's atmosphere differ from the composition of the atmospheres of the gas giant planets?
The Gas Giants have a deep gas atmosphere and earth have a not so deep atmosphere
Why doesen't the gas on a gas giant escape into space as it has on mercury?
The gas giant planets have stronger gravity, which makes it harder for anything to escape, and are colder, which means that even with similar gravitational fields, gas molecules might not achieve escape velocity.
A gas giant often has?
A gas giant often has a thick atmosphere composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. These planets typically have no solid surface and may have many moons and planetary rings. They are much larger than terrestrial planets like Earth and are located farther from their host star.
