It does, actually. Gravity pulls down on the atmosphere (otherwise it would spin off into space from centripetal force). That is why at sea level, the atmospheric pressure is about 15 pounds per square inch; but the higher you get, the thinner the air is.
Here is something interesting (and kind of on the same subject) when Pluto is at Aphelion it's atmosphere becomes a solid and gravity pulls it to the surface.
Mostly for the same reason you stay close to the surface of the planet - gravity!
It is not a linear relation but, the larger the planet, the greater the gravity, the more it is able to attract and keep.
surface.
the atmosphere if by "surface gravity", you mean the potential energy forced upon us by gravitational pull, then it's joules. If you mean the actual force of the gravity, it's newtons. (also known as our weight.)
the objects which enter the earths atmosphere are being pulled down towards the earths surface due to the earths gravity. And so it leads to falling falling of large objects from the space on the surface of the earth.
There is no atmosphere on the Moon because it does not have sufficient gravity to hold an atmosphere to it's surface.
What is Gravity?
The Moon does not have enough gravity to retain an atmosphere.
Where else would it be? The atmosphere is a compilation of gasses held to the Earth by gravity.
The atmosphere we breath is held round the earth's surface due to earth's gravity. Without this gravity, earth's atmosphere would disperse into space. Because our moon's gravity is weak, so there is no atmosphere on the moon.
Gravity.
That has to do with gravity and Earth's atmosphere.
The Moon's gravity causes the lack of atmosphere (any possible atmosphere evaporates out into space in a fairly short time); and the lack of atmosphere causes the extreme temperatures.

Near surface gravity is more strong which hold atmospher strongly then high
No, oxygen is a gas that is part of the several gases that make up the atmosphere we breath. Gravity is the force that not only keeps our atmosphere from disappearing into space, but keeps our feet firmly on Earth's surface.
Gravity: Of course it has gravity. Any planet - moreover, any object that has mass (mass is what you measure in kilograms) has gravity. Atmosphere: You might say that Jupiter consists only of atmosphere. It is a gas giant, just as Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune. Specifically, it doesn't have a surface on which you might stand.
