What holds earth's atmosphere together?

the gravitational force holds its atmosphere together


What layer holds almost all of the water vapor in the atmosphere?

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.


What force holds a planet's atmosphere in place?

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.


What layer of atmosphere holds oxygen in earth?

the layer of the atmosphere that holds oxygen is the troposphere and its pause is tropopause


What keeps the atmosphere near the surface of the earth?

The gravitational force between the Earth and the atmosphere holds the atmosphere close, just like it holds you close to the Earth. (ground)


What force maintains the atmosphere on earth?

Gravity holds the atmosphere from going into space


Why doesn't all the air just go 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.


Why is the chemical composition of earth atmosphere important?

The Chemical Composition of the Earth's atmosphere is important because it holds the Earth together.


Which force holds the atmosphere to the earth?

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.


Is there is any relation between atmosphere and Gravity which made the atmosphere to stick around the Earth?

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.


This holds a planet's atmosphere close to its 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.


Why doesnt earth's atmosphere leaks out?

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.
