Why does Air stay within the Atmosphere - solid and liquid are pulled by gravity BUT i don't agree Air is pulled by gravity?

First of all, the atmosphere is the air. Secondly, air is matter, all matter is affected by gravity. Imagine this: the sea is liquid, it lies on the earth, pulled by gravity. the atmosphere is also like this except it is a "sea" of air, it lies on the earth, pulled by gravity.

What is Convection is the circulation of what gas or liquid?
The transfer of heat within a gas or liquid medium by the circulation of currents from one location to another. Note that gravity when present plays a part.
What is the definition for a convection?
1. The act or process of conveying; transmission.2. Physicsa. Heat transfer in a gas or liquid by the circulation of currents from one region to another.b. Fluid motion caused by an external force such as gravity.3. Meteorology The transfer of heat or other atmospheric properties by massive motion within the atmosphere, especially by such motion directed upward.
What does it mean when a body falls freely in air?
When a body experiences free fall, it technically means that it only feels 1 force: gravity. Since this does not exist within earth's atmosphere, many people use the term casually when referring to feeling only gravity and wind resistance, such as in skydiving.
Does the center of gravity of a solid body always lie within the body?
The center of gravity of a solid body does not always lie within the body. An example of this is a hula hoop. The center of gravity does not lie on the hoop that rotates.
Where is the center of gravity on a bottle rack?
Within its base outline.
Why is air enclosed within the limits of the atmosphere?
Gravity.
Does earth's gravity pull on everything?
Yes, anything that get's within a close range of the earth will be pulled on by earth's gravity.
Why moon has no atmosphere.?
That is related to the fact that the Moon has less gravity - its escape velocity is less. This allows any atmosphere to evaporate into space within a reasonable time.
What keeps 99 percent of the total mass of the atmosphere within 32 km of Earth's surface?
Gravity.
Is buoyant force a contact force?
The buoyant force is a contact force, exerted by contact with a liquid that displaces the liquid within a gravity field. No contact, no force.
Does rubbing alcohol evaporate faster when cooled?
the atmosphere determines rate of evaporation. if the atmosphere is as dense as a liquid within the atmosphere there is no evaporation at all. on earth, cooler atmospheres are generally less dense, so it's not cooling the liquid alcohol as much as providing it with a supply of less dense atmosphere that will make a liquid, alcohol, evaporate faster. on the extreme, putting a liquid into a vacuum will cause it to almost immediately evaporate, a.k.a. standardize the temperature and pressure of its atmosphere. there is really no such thing as evaporation as much as there is homogenization, standardization, of its atmosphere.
What is Convection is the circulation of what gas or liquid?
The transfer of heat within a gas or liquid medium by the circulation of currents from one location to another. Note that gravity when present plays a part.
When did meteorites form within the solar system?
probably a Little bit after the sun formed. the sun gravity pulled dust into orbit and the dust clumped to geather and some became bigger to form proto planets but others stayed the same and became asteroid NOT a meteorite a .meteorite is in earths atmosphere a asteroid is in space. did this help?
How does gravity affect a bottle rocket as it is ascending and descending?
As a rocket descends, gravity is pulling it down whilst drag is stopping the gravity having some of its power because without the drag the rocket would be pulled down to the ground within a matter of seconds. I don't know how it affects it on its ascent!! Sorry!!
Why stars will not move?
that's just the way the universe is designed its the largest thing within 1000's of lightyears so everything nearby gets pulled into orbit around it by its massive gravity
How did the moon get to the atmosphere?
The moon has no atmosphere and it is not within the Earth's atmosphere, so it never got "to the atmosphere."
What process causes liquid rock to move?
Vulcanism is the process that forces liquid rock (magma) from deep within the Earth, up to the surface. Once the rock is expelled from a Volcano, the force of Gravity makes it flow down the sloped surface.
