Which layer of the atmosphere loses atoms and molecules due to weak gravity?
Exosphere
Why lack of atmosphere around the moon?
The moon's gravity is too weak to hold on to an atmosphere.
What prevented the Moon from maintaining any atmosphere with which it originally formed?
A lack of sufficient gravity. The gravity on the moon is so weak that the rays of the sun (the solar wind) completely blew away any atmosphere the moon may have had. The rest of the lunar atmosphere evaporated into space due to the high heat from the direct sunlight.
When earths early atmosphere formed which gases where lost because earths gravity was too weak?
Hydrogen and helium
What is the daily routine of an astronaut?
they have to exersize, due to the lack of gravity your muscles grow weak ecause they dont have to resist gravity. Go for a walk ;-)
Which layer of the atmosphere loses atoms and molecules due to weak gravity?
Exosphere
Why their is no air in space?
The atmosphere we breath is held round the earth's surface due to earth's gravity. Without this gravity, earth's atmosphere would disperse into space. Because our moon's gravity is weak, so there is no atmosphere on the moon.
Why lack of atmosphere around the moon?
The moon's gravity is too weak to hold on to an atmosphere.
Is our atmosphere escaping?
Due to earth's gravity, the atmosphere isn't escaping.
What is the atmosphere of Makemake made of?
It doesn't have one, the gravity is far too weak
What planet has no atmosphere because it was burned off by the sun?
Mercury is the planet that has no atmosphere. Its close proximity to the Sun and relatively weak gravity have caused any atmosphere it once had to be burned off and lost into space.
What prevented the Moon from maintaining any atmosphere with which it originally formed?
A lack of sufficient gravity. The gravity on the moon is so weak that the rays of the sun (the solar wind) completely blew away any atmosphere the moon may have had. The rest of the lunar atmosphere evaporated into space due to the high heat from the direct sunlight.
There is no gravity air and what on the moon?
The Moon does have gravity! It is weak (just 1/6th of the Earth's) so the Moon has very little atmosphere.
Do meteorites have atmosphere?
No. Any atmosphere would quickly escape into space, due to the low gravity.
Is Gravity on the sun weak?
Yes, due to the rotational force and the heat the gravity is weak. The heat is so hot it acts almost as a force against gravity. So only some can come in.
What planet contains a five layer atmosphere?
Earth contains a five layer atmosphere. It is due to gravity.
What is a G?
a G is the force due to gravity. 2G would be twice the force due to gravity. Astronauts have to withstand multiple G when leaving the Earth's atmosphere.
