Since that is very near to Earth - compared to Earth's radius - the gravity will be almost the same as on the surface. If you want to know exactly how much the gravity gets reduced, look up the distance, and use the formula for gravitation.

Did the Moon ever have an atmosphere?

Yes, the Moon did have a very thin atmosphere called an exosphere. This exosphere is made up of very low-density gases, such as sodium and helium, that are constantly escaping into space due to the Moon's low gravity. The Moon's atmosphere is much less dense compared to Earth's atmosphere.


Which attributes does the exosphere have?

The answer wanted is surely high temperature and low gravity. The exosphere is considered to have high temperature because the individual gas molecules of which it is composed are moving fast. However there are very few of them and any solid object in the exosphere will have high temperatures in sunlight and low temperatures in the shade. Gravity is lower than on the surface of the earth. Gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance - so an object at 3,500 mile altitude will only feel one quarter of the pull of the same object on the surface.


Which layer of the atmosphere loses atoms and molecules due to weak gravity?

The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere where the weakest amount of gravity allows atoms and molecules to escape into space. This layer is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium atoms that can reach high velocities due to solar radiation.


Why do you think the elements are lighter in the exosphere?

Do you mean elements or molecules? Gravity is acting more weakly on them (inverse square law).


What is after exosphere?

The exosphere is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere. In the exosphere, an upward travelling molecule can escape to space if it is moving fast enough to attain escape velocity; otherwise it will be pulled back to the celestial body by gravity.
