The Earth's gravity.
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.
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.
Yes, Earth's gravitational force holds our atmosphere in place. The gravitational force between Earth and the atmosphere prevents it from drifting off into space. The atmosphere is made up of gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, which are all kept close to Earth's surface due to gravity.
The Greenhouse Effect.
It takes place on Earths atmosphere =)
the gravitational force holds its atmosphere together
The troposphere holds almost all of the water vapor in the atmosphere. This is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere where weather events occur, and it is where most of the water cycle processes take place.

the layer of the atmosphere that holds oxygen is the troposphere and its pause is tropopause
The gravitational force between the Earth and the atmosphere holds the atmosphere close, just like it holds you close to the Earth. (ground)
Gravity holds the atmosphere from going into space
Gravity holds it near Earth. Objects with less gravity, such as the Moon or Mercury, have lost most of their atmosphere - or didn't develop an atmosphere in the first place.
The Chemical Composition of the Earth's atmosphere is important because it holds the Earth together.
The force that holds the atmosphere to the Earth is gravity. Gravity is the force of attraction between all objects and it keeps the gases in our atmosphere close to the Earth's surface.

Gravity holds a planet's atmosphere close to its surface. The gravitational force of the planet's mass prevents the gases in the atmosphere from escaping into space. Without gravity, the atmosphere would disperse into space.
Gravity holds it in place. It is possible that now and then individual molecules acquire enough speed to escape, but the effect is negligible.Gravity holds it in place.
