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.

What cause air pressure?

Gravity pulling the mass of the atmosphere toward the center of the earth. Atmosphere includes air, water vapor, etc.


The earth is just the right size to retain our atmosphere Our atmosphere is attracted by earth's?

The atmosphere is held in place by gravity. Gravity exactly balances the upward pressure gradient force. Since atmospheric pressure decreases rapidly with height, an earth without gravity would cause a strong wind upward, allowing air to rush out to space.


Is the earths rotatin by gravity?

No, gravity doesn't cause the Earth's rotation.


Does gravity cause earths land water and atmosphere to bulge slightly towards the moon?

The moons orbit causes the water to do this. The gravitational pull of the moon causes the water to be pushed and pulled


what main factors cause the air in earths atmosphere to move?

uneven heating by the sun causes changes of atmospheric pressure, and winds blow from regions with high pressure to those with low pressure.
