Correct Answer: The gravitational force of the Earth


Solution : The correct answer is The gravitational force of the Earth .

The Earth's gravitational force plays a crucial role in keeping the atmosphere in place. The gravitational pull of the Earth is what holds the gases that make up the atmosphere close to the planet. This force is responsible for keeping the atmosphere from drifting off into space. Without gravity, the gases in the atmosphere would disperse into outer space.
