Earth's atmosphere is gradually escaping into space.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Earth's atmosphere is gradually escaping into space?

Partly. One source notes that a few molecules may escape Earth's atmosphere occasionally, while a NASA education page and a Q&A state that Earth's gravity holds the atmosphere and prevents it from drifting into space. Other items describe atmospheric escape only for Mars, Venus, or exoplanets, not Earth.
