Gravity is an entirely separate entity which is a consequence only of the mass of the earth itself. In fact, the atmosphere presses down because gravity is pulling on it.

What holds the atmosphere to the earth?

The earths gravity. The more mass a body has, the more gravity, The Earth has enough mass to hold an atmosphere. The Moon, on the other hand, is not massive enough, and so does not have a high enough gravity, which prevents it from holding an atmosphere.

No, gravity doesn't cause the Earth's rotation.


what main factors cause the air in earths atmosphere to move?

uneven heating by the sun causes changes of atmospheric pressure, and winds blow from regions with high pressure to those with low pressure.

What does earths gravity pulling on air mass cause?

Earth's gravity pulling on air masses causes them to be attracted towards the surface of the Earth, creating atmospheric pressure. This pressure is responsible for maintaining the air in our atmosphere and helps drive weather patterns and circulation of air around the globe.


What is the major cause of air pressure?

The pull of gravity.


What cause air pressure?

Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air above us pressing down on the air below. This pressure is a result of Earth's gravity pulling the air molecules towards the surface. Temperature changes and weather systems can also affect air pressure.


The earth is just the right size to retain our atmosphere Our atmosphere is attracted by earth's?

The atmosphere is held in place by gravity. Gravity exactly balances the upward pressure gradient force. Since atmospheric pressure decreases rapidly with height, an earth without gravity would cause a strong wind upward, allowing air to rush out to space.
