Why does the moon have gravity but no air?
The moon has gravity because it has mass, which creates a gravitational pull. However, the moon has no atmosphere because its gravity is too weak to hold on to gases like air. As a result, the moon has a vacuum environment with no air or atmosphere.
Explain how earth's mass is related to its ability to have an atmosphere?
The Earth has an atmosphere because it has the gravity necessary to keep the gases from floating off into space. The more mass a planet has, the more gravity it has, and the more gravity it has, the thicker an atmosphere it can sustain.
Why was earth able to hang on its atmosphere?
Earth is able to retain its atmosphere due to its gravity. The gravitational force of Earth is strong enough to hold on to the gases of the atmosphere, preventing them from escaping into space. This creates a stable environment that allows for life to exist on the planet.
The atmosphere is held in place by Earth's?
The atmosphere is held in place by Earth's gravity. Gravity keeps the gases of the atmosphere from drifting off into space and creates a force that pulls them towards the planet's surface. Without gravity, the atmosphere would dissipate into space.
The atmosphere is held in place by Earth's .?
gravity
Why doesnt mercury have an atmosphere?
One word- gravity. Mercury is just simply not massive enough to generate the gravity required to hold gases close enough to the surface to create an atmosphere.
Which planet does not have enough gravity to have an atmosphere?
Nercury
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.
What holds the Earth's atmosphere in place?
The atmosphere is held in place by the earth's gravity. Gravity is related to mass, the more mass a planet has, the more gravity. A much smaller planet like mercury or a body such as the moon will have less gravity, not enough to hold an atmosphere - the gravity is not strong enough to prevent the gas particles from escaping into space.
Why the moon doesn't has atmosphere?
Because it doesn't have enough gravity to hold the atmosphere down? :D
Why is there no atmospher on the moon?
The moon's gravity is not strong enough to support an atmosphere.
Why there is not atmosphare on the moon surface?
The Moon does not have enough gravity to retain an atmosphere.
Do comets asteroids and meteors have an atmosphere?
No. They do not have enough gravity to hold on to the gasses.
Mercury does not have enough gravity to hold this?
ya it has a little bit less gravity than the moon. its........floaty..........
Is it true Venus doesn't have enough gravity to have an atmosphere?
No. The gravity on Venus is only slightly less than it is on Earth. Venus has an atmosphere about 90 times denser than Earth's.
Why moon has no atmosphere.?
That is related to the fact that the Moon has less gravity - its escape velocity is less. This allows any atmosphere to evaporate into space within a reasonable time.
What gases are on an asteroid?
None. An asteroid does not have strong enough gravity to hold onto an atmosphere.
