With a force called gravity. Each atom and molecule of the atmosphere has an atomic weight, which keeps it from floating away into space.
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.
Earth isn't in the atmosphere - the atmosphere is part of Earth.
Earth's atmosphere is almost 200 times thicker than the atmosphere of Mars. The atmosphere of Earth is primarily nitrogen and oxygen, while the Martian atmosphere is primarily carbon dioxide.
The moon doesn't have the kind of atmosphere that can hold heat like Earth. Therefor, it is too cold for water.
earth has people in it's atmosphere
Gravity hold the atmosphere to the Earth. But other factors do cause earth to loose some atmosphere to space continuously.
Gravity.
yeah
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.
Tornadoes demonstrate that Earth's atmosphere can hold quite a bit of energy.
No, its gravity is too low to hold an atmosphere.
In the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect refers to the situation in the atmosphere where gases hold on to the heat rising from the earth.
The surface of the earth holds heat, and the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere hold heat all through the night. If the earth had no atmosphere, then at night all the heat would escape out to space and the earth would be freezing.
The sun warms the earth. The heat (energy) from the earth then heats the air.
not liquids or solids?
Luna, the Earth's moon, has no atmosphere at all. Its force of gravity is too small to hold an atmosphere to its surface.
The planet Earth has a sufficiently large mass, and correspondingly large gravitational field, to enable it to hold on to a large atmosphere.
