Earth's gravity
Explanation:
Atmosphere is formed by the set of different layers of gases together, thus forming atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere protects us by absorbing the UV rays coming from the Sun. These gases are held together forming an envelop because of the gravity of the Earth. It mainly comprises of 78% of Nitrogen, 20.9% of the oxygen, 0.9% of argon, approximately 0.035% of Carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases present in negligible amount.
