Why doesn't the gas on a gas giant escape into space as itbhas on Mercury?

Jupiter has a gravity which is substantially greater than on Earth. The other gas giants have gravity which is similar to Earth's. Mercury, on the other hand, has a very weak gravity: around 38% compared to Earth. Also, being so close to the Sun it is blasted by the Solar wind. These two factors have stripped Mercury of its 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.

Why doesn't the gas on on a gas giant escape into space as it has on mercury?
because if u have enough gas in one area it creates mass and causes it to stay in the gravity field of a planet
