Почему атмосфера не улетает в космос | Why the Atmosphere Does Not Fly off into Space

Simulator: Escaping the Rabbit Hole: We think that air will rush to fill a vacuum, so why doesn’t the atmosphere fly off into space? It makes a lot more sense if you think of it in terms of individual molecules of gas bouncing around. Gravity pulls them all downwards, but they end up bouncing off each more and more, creating air pressure. The pressure is a result of the air being pulled down, so there’s actually no force at all that would “pull“ it into space. Discussion Thread on Metabunk:
