Where’s the dome?! Good lord we’re all going to suffocate
You know, this is actually a great question.
If there is no solid, air tight, structure between the deadly vacuum of space and our atmosphere, then why doesn’t the vacuum of space simply suck our atmosphere right out? What’s “holding” our atmosphere “in?”
Vacuums do not suck. Air pressure pushes from high pressure to low pressure. The air pressure of earth’s atmosphere is restrained by earth’s gravity. No dome or vapor canopy required.
Everything that happens on earth is influenced by earth’s gravity. Every force acting in a system must be accounted for, whether you like it or not.
Complaining about the ubiquity of gravity is not an argument against its existence or known properties. You may as well complain about the Sun putting out so much light.

If you look closely you can see people falling off the edge.... ENHANCE!
Actually, and some of us might not discern this, but, this image is fake. Everyone knows the Earth is square. TIME CUUUUBE!!!

Magic gravity again. It just seems like the answer to so many fantastic cosmological conundrums 🤷♂️
Gravity is not magic.
