Why does the atmosphere not just float away. Surely gravity isn't strong enough since it doesn't even stop steam rising?

because the gases in our atmosphere are carefully calculated by Jehovah god to help sustain our atmosphere

Which planet does not have enough gravity to have an atmosphere?
Nercury
Why doesnt the mass of most object cause a force large enough to move object toward each other?
it does, gravity just inhibits it most of the time.
A body fallingthrough the atmosphere is a subject of how many forces?
2, Gravity and Friction (aka wind resistance). The body will reach terminal velocity when the air it is passing through creates enough friction so that it equals the force of gravity therefore stopping any further acceleration.
Do rocks have gravity?
Yes. everything with mass has gravity. Something the size of an everyday rock, though, does not have enough mass for its gravity to be noticeable.
Why doesn't gravity make you fall through the floor?
because the gravity on earth isn't strong enough
Why doesnt mercury have an atmosphere?
One word- gravity. Mercury is just simply not massive enough to generate the gravity required to hold gases close enough to the surface to create an atmosphere.
Which planet does not have enough gravity to have an atmosphere?
Nercury
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.
Why is there so little atmosphere on the moon?
Because it does not have enough gravity to "hold" onto an atmosphere.
What holds the Earth's atmosphere in place?
The atmosphere is held in place by the earth's gravity. Gravity is related to mass, the more mass a planet has, the more gravity. A much smaller planet like mercury or a body such as the moon will have less gravity, not enough to hold an atmosphere - the gravity is not strong enough to prevent the gas particles from escaping into space.
Why the moon doesn't has atmosphere?
Because it doesn't have enough gravity to hold the atmosphere down? :D
Why does the moon have gravity but no air?
The moon has gravity, but it is much weaker than the gravity on Earth. It is not enough to hold onto an atmosphere.
Why is there no atmospher on the moon?
The moon's gravity is not strong enough to support an atmosphere.
Why there is not atmosphare on the moon surface?
The Moon does not have enough gravity to retain an atmosphere.
Do comets asteroids and meteors have an atmosphere?
No. They do not have enough gravity to hold on to the gasses.
Do asteroids have atmospheres?
The asteroid belt, is a "collection" of asteroids circling the Sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. A collection cannot have an atmosphere. A single asteroid does not have enough mass to "hold" on to an atmosphere.
Is it true Venus doesn't have enough gravity to have an atmosphere?
No. The gravity on Venus is only slightly less than it is on Earth. Venus has an atmosphere about 90 times denser than Earth's.
