What else can I help you with?
Why does the earth have a atmophere?
Mainly because Earth has a large enough mass, and therefore a large enough gravity, to keep an atmosphere.
Why don't small meteorites pulverize the Earth's surface like they do the Moon?
Small objects - and even some fairly large objects - that strike the Earth are heated to incandescence by friction and compression as they enter the Earth's atmosphere. Most such meteorites either explode harmlessly far above the ground or are vaporized entirely.
What is the only planet with an atmosphere that contains a large amount of nitrogen?
The atmosphere of Earth contains about 78.08% nitrogen. There has been no other place found that has this nitrogen in abundance, with Mars having only 3% as a remainder of its thin and low-pressure atmosphere.
What planet is the only one that has large bodies of water and a protected atmosphere?
Earth is the only planet in our solar system known to have large bodies of liquid water on its surface and a protective atmosphere that allows life to thrive.
Is a comet a large chunk of rock or metal?
astroid
Why is the worlds atmosphere so big?
The planet Earth has a sufficiently large mass, and correspondingly large gravitational field, to enable it to hold on to a large atmosphere.

What does chunk mean WHAT DO?

What fell into the earth when dinosaurs lived?
Some scientists believe it was a large meteor that crashed into the earth disrupting the food resources and proper atmosphere, which led to the large dinosaurs dying off.Some scientists believe it was a large meteor that crashed into the earth disrupting the food resources and proper atmosphere, which led to the large dinosaurs dying off.Some scientists believe it was a large meteor that crashed into the earth disrupting the food resources and proper atmosphere, which led to the large dinosaurs dying off.Some scientists believe it was a large meteor that crashed into the earth disrupting the food resources and proper atmosphere, which led to the large dinosaurs dying off.Some scientists believe it was a large meteor that crashed into the earth disrupting the food resources and proper atmosphere, which led to the large dinosaurs dying off.Some scientists believe it was a large meteor that crashed into the earth disrupting the food resources and proper atmosphere, which led to the large dinosaurs dying off.
Is atmosphere rotate?
The atmosphere naturally moves along with the Earth, as Earth rotates.Note that Earth's rotation may affect large-scale movements (currents) in the atmosphere - this is called Coriolis forces.
Where can a large amount of nitrogen be found on the planet?
The greatest concentration of nitrogen on the Earth is found in its atmosphere. The atmosphere is approximately 78 percent nitrogen.

How does gravity enter your atmosphere?
It doesn't "enter" the atmosphere, it comes from the large mass of the earth which creates a gravitational pull.

Describe the impact-collision therory of the moon's origin?
The theory is that a moon-sized object, crashed into the earth during it's developmental stages, which then ejected a massive chunk of material from the body of the newly formed earth. This large chunk of planetary debris was then caught in the earth's gravitational field and settled into an orbital path around the earth, forming what we call the moon.
Where is helium normally found?
It is found in large amounts in the stars and in the Earth's atmosphere
Name the planets with an atmosphere that contains a large amount of nitrogen?
That's Earth.
