I have a question in response to your question. Why is there an atmosphere on Earth?

Answer: Without gravity there is no atmosphere on earth. The air pressure that we have at any given elevation is nothing more than the gravitational force (weight) of the air column between that particular elevation and the "edge" of our own atmosphere.
It isn't something you'd normally think about, but is true all the same.
