Well without gravity we wouldn't have an atmosphere

Gravity is the force that pulls all things towards the Earth. Nothing can escape the pull of gravity and that is why the atmosphere does not fly off or evaporate into space. It doesn't matter whether it is gas, solid or liquid, gravity acts on all.

Without Earth's gravity to hold it in place we'd have little or no atmosphere. Mars is a good example of what happens to a world with too little gravity -- its atmosphere has almost been completely swept away by the solar wind.

a million. The tension will enhance as you bypass nearer to the middle. tension is accompanied via warmth, and for this reason the outer middle is molten magma. notwithstanding, because it gets nearer and nearer the tension will become extra severe and at a point - the interior middle - it is going to become sturdy, extremely warm, metallic. 2. No, our planet is a planet, and stars are stars. they are extremely diverse in the two composition and residences. Our planet has no longer and by no ability will shop on with the tiers in existence a megastar does. (approximately Earth sprouting existence: Earth has a organic stability - being no longer too close and not too a ways from the sunlight to create existence.) 3. this question is slightly puzzling. once you're referring on your first question - then sure. different than, the tension of being under the completed earth is so plenty extra desirable than that of being under an ocean of water. 4. no person can particularly try that, via fact drilling to the middle is impossible as of yet. i don't have self assurance we are able to even drill previous the mantle (after the crust) considering - it particularly is liquid.

Gravitation is the force that gives objects weight. So the more mass and object has, the more weight it will have. Gas molecules have little mass so they have little weight. However, gravitation still acts upon them to some degree, which is why the gasses don't just fly off into space.

You have two good answers.
It's old man gravity, it is!
