> so your idea is that gravity, with the power decreasing by the inverse square of the distance from the earth's surface, is powerful enough to stop the gas flowing from an area of higher pressure to one of no pressure- but not powerful enough to stop the gas from rising to high altitude? the earth's atmosphere is at equilibrium with the pull of the vaccum of space matching the pull of gravity you fucking moron do you think there is some kind of magical shield separating the atmosphere from space where rockets have to stop and enter a code to get through it?
