Gravity does not stop outside the Earth's atmosphere. Gravity's range is theoretically infinite, so you will never be free of its influence. Every object has gravitational attraction for every other object in the universe. The force of that attraction is greater for objects with greater amass, and is gets less as the distance between the two increases.
The only way to not notice gravity's influence is to be in free fall. They you don't have anything opposing your movement toward the large attracting object (the earth) and you don't feel the attraction (the weight). As such weightlessness is experienced by astronauts in a spacecraft in orbit, so it is in free fall.
Gravity is a constant force that acts upon objects with mass, causing them to be attracted to each other. While the strength of gravity can vary based on the mass of the objects and their distance apart, it is not considered a variable in itself.
The atmosphere is held in place by Earth's gravity, which is strong enough to keep it from floating away into space. The molecules in steam are moving faster than air molecules in the atmosphere, so they can rise against gravity. The atmosphere is trapped by Earth's gravitational pull, preventing it from escaping like steam.
The two main forces acting on a falling object in Earth's atmosphere are gravity, which pulls the object downward, and air resistance (also known as drag), which opposes the object's motion and slows it down as it falls.
it pulls the object towards the earth which kind of slows it down i guess. or is that friction? For an object travelling in the Earths atmosphere, or near to the Earth above the atmosphere, gravity provides a force pulling the object towards the centre of the Earth. Unless the object is travelling fast enough, what is called the escape velocity, this gravity force will ultimately cause the object to fall back to the surface. Friction is something else, the friction with the air in the atmosphere also slows the object, but this force acts in opposition to the direction of motion, not towards the Earths centre. To compute the trajectory of the object you need to take both forces into account.
Earth's lighter gases such as Hydrogen and Helium will rise to the top of the atmosphere. Since they are very light, they will easily be knocked awry by the solar wind, the stream of charged particles coming from the Sun.
Gravity pulled it in.
There is no atmosphere on the moon. There is insufficient gravity to keep an atmosphere there.
The two are completely unrelated.
The Earth's gravity.
Hydrogen and helium
Gravity.
Gravity is an entirely separate entity which is a consequence only of the mass of the earth itself. In fact, the atmosphere presses down because gravity is pulling on it.
Gravity. And the meteor is on a path that intersects the orbit of 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.
Outside earths atmosphere its Gravity, and on Earth its Mass and Velocity.
No. To even reduce it by 75% you must travel out to 4000 miles.
yes it could cause of its gravity
