Are molecules of atmosphere pulled towards the earth because of gravity?

Yes. Molecules have mass and are therefore affected by gravity. Were it not for this, there would be nothing to keep the atmosphere on Earth.


What pulls gas molecules in the atmosphere toward the Earth?

Gravity is the force that pulls gas molecules in the atmosphere towards the Earth. The Earth's mass creates a gravitational pull that acts on all objects, including gas molecules, causing them to be attracted towards the Earth's surface.


Why does Air stay within the Atmosphere - solid and liquid are pulled by gravity BUT i don't agree Air is pulled by gravity?

First of all, the atmosphere is the air. Secondly, air is matter, all matter is affected by gravity. Imagine this: the sea is liquid, it lies on the earth, pulled by gravity. the atmosphere is also like this except it is a "sea" of air, it lies on the earth, pulled by gravity.

The term air pressure is used to refer to the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on the Earth's surface. What creates air pressure?

Air pressure is created by the weight of air molecules in the Earth's atmosphere exerting force on the surface due to gravity. As air molecules are pulled toward the Earth's surface, they collide with each other and with objects, creating pressure. Additionally, variations in temperature and altitude can affect air pressure, as warmer air tends to rise and cooler air sinks, leading to changes in pressure levels.
