"Ask the question: How does the Earth's atmosphere stay adjacent to the Earth's surface?
The Tardly Answer is: "Gravity of The Earth."”
Yes, that is the answer.
“Okay, let's assume that it is the Earth's gravity holding its atmosphere.”
Kinda redundant to assume the answer given…
If that is so, then opening up a container with a vacuum inside should not suck any air into it.”
Oh! A thought experiment? But you don’t know enough to actually conduct it.
At sea level, the air itself exerts 14 pounds per square inch pressure against any surface, such as your skin, or the opening of a container with a vacuum inside. Gravity is not strong enough to hold air back against 14 PSI.
The pressure is from the weight of the air above it.
“After all, the "vacuum of space" surrounding the Earth is no different than a big bottle with a vacuum inside of it. But, the "vacuum of space" Does not suck up the Earth's atmosphere.”
Vacuums don’t suck. The pressure of the pressurized space blows.
As you rise, there is less and less air above you. The pressure decreases. Until it gets to the point where it does not overcome the pull of gravity.
“And, the sheer volume of the Earth's atmosphere should act no differently in response to a vacuum bottle than to a vacuum surrounding the Earth.”
You still think of vacuums as sucking, but they don’t.
"You cannot refute this,”
I can easily refute this, and I’ve only graduated high school.
"for the same reason that small rocks fall at the same speed as huge rocks.”
So, you’ve HEARD of gravity, just don’t believe in it.
“And Yes, the Earth does have enough gravity to make the atmosphere denser at the surface, just as there is increasing water pressure as one goes further under water.
It is just that there is no "outer space vacuum."”
All the tools in front of you and yu pulle the answer out of your ass…
“Put on your thinking caps, Snowflakes. And, try not to get upset.”
Yes, yes, you’re really in the position to talk down to everyone else..
