First of all, there's no such thing as an object that's not affected by gravity.

But if there were ...

Its motion after you let it go would continue in the same direction and at the same

speed that it had when it left your hand. Or, to improve the discussion slightly, no

matter what direction you launched the object, it would continue in the same direction,

but its speed would gradually decrease because of air resistance ... friction with the air

through which it's gliding.

What's missing is the vertical acceleration that all real objects have because of gravity.

Your perception of its motion isn't affected by the presence or absence of gravity. Its

appearance only depends on its speed relative to you.

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.
