Gravity holds the atmosphere in place. In fact, it perfectly balances the upward pressure gradient force (air pressure decreases as you go up in the atmosphere, causing a gradient that would otherwise generate a VERY strong wind upward). This is called hydrostatic equilibrium.
The Earth's gravity is what keeps the layers of the atmosphere from diffusing into space. The particles of the atmosphere are held close to the surface of the Earth by gravity, creating a stable layer of gases around our planet.
the atmosphere of gravity pulls it.
Gravity holds the atmosphere around the planet. Gravity is the force that attracts a body toward the center of the planet. For most purposes Newton's laws of gravity apply, with minor modifications to take the general theory of relativity into account.
Venus' atmosphere is much denser and primarily composed of carbon dioxide, with very little oxygen. Its atmosphere exerts a much higher pressure compared to Earth's atmosphere. Venus has a slightly weaker gravitational pull than Earth, with a surface gravity of about 91% of Earth's gravity.
Venus has a gravity that is approximately 0.91 times that of Earth's gravity. Since Jupiter's gravity is about 24.79 m/s², Venus's gravity being 0.35 times that of Jupiter would be around 8.67 m/s². Given that Earth's gravity is about 9.81 m/s², this means Venus's gravity is roughly 91% of Earth's.
There certainly is gravity outside the atmosphere. For example, it is gravity that keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth, and the Earth in orbit around the Sun.
The atmosphere stays around the Earth due to gravity. Gravity is the force that pulls the gases in the atmosphere towards the Earth's surface, keeping them from escaping into space.
Atmosphere is the gaseous envelope that surrounds a planet and is held in place by gravity. Biosphere is the zone on and around a planet that sustains life.
yeah
The moon's gravity is too weak to hold on to an atmosphere.
Earth's gravity is what holds all the gases in the atmosphere around the planet. Gravity exerts a force that prevents the gases from escaping into space, creating the atmosphere that surrounds the Earth.
A magnetic field holds atmosphere to the planet. Without a magnetosphere the solar wind from the sun will blow the atmosphere away. That is why our planet still has an atmosphere, we have the magnetic poles.

Answer: It keeps up from being crushed from the atmosphere around us... it also keeps us from floating away and helps keep the earth the right temp. Answer: Gravity keeps the atmosphere around the planet in the first place.
Atmosphere. Wow.
