Air does not escape into space primarily due to Earth's gravitational pull, which holds the atmosphere tightly around the planet. The force of gravity keeps air molecules from gaining enough kinetic energy to overcome the gravitational barrier. Additionally, the atmosphere gradually thins out with altitude, and at a certain height, the density of air becomes extremely low, making it difficult for air to exist or escape into the vacuum of space.
What else can I help you with?
Does a space shuttle bank in space?
no. there is no need to bank. Banking happens because the only way aircraft can turn is by banking. while banking, air pushes off the bottom of the aircraft to make it go in a certain direction. there is no air in space. space is a vacuum. thrusters are used.

Why cannot aircraft fly in space?

Does air exist in space?
Space is mostly a vacuum with very low density of gas particles, including air. The Earth's atmosphere extends to a certain distance from the planet, but beyond that, there is very little air in space. Astronauts in space rely on life support systems to provide them with breathable air.
Can people go into space with out a space suit?
No because if you go into space you would die from the lack of air and the air would freeze or boild you to death
If space is a vacuum, where does the air go?
When space is a vacuum, the air is dispersed into the surrounding environment or into other areas with air.
How will you get air and water in space?
you have to take them with you when you go
Where will the air go if it is leaked in space?
The air will simply spread out in space, eventually forming an extremely diffuse cloud.
Do they wear suits when they go to space because there is no air?
Space suits are worn to protect astronauts not only from the lack of air, but also from cold.
Why are astronaut made to wear specially made suits when they go in space?
Because there is no AIR in space, and we need AIR (that is in very simple terms....).
What is the cost to go to the space museum in Washington DC?
There is no admission cost to the National Air and Space Museum.
Why is wearing a space suit so important when you go to mars?
Air and temperature are controlled in a space suit.
What will happen to Discovery the last of the space shuttles?
It will go on display at the Smithsonian Institution's Air and Space Museum.
Where does the parts go after it comes of shuttle when its in the air?
They float around in Space
Types of rockets animals go to outer space in?
my answer is air rockets because birds go in there
How do astronauts change their clothes?
They simply change there clothes! The astronauts don't always have the space suits on! That's only when they actually go into space. When there in a space station or rocket they have air tanks that replenish the air in the rocket and an air pressure controller.
