Gravity is an excellent container.
Gravity isnt a real force. Mass doesnt attract mass.
How is the admittedly weakest force supposed to hold on to lonely particles on the edge of a vacuum, all while the earth is (allegedly) spinning and hurling through three dimensions?
Earth is flat and unmoving and we live under the dome firmament.

It is and you can measure it.

There isn't a hard "edge" to the atmosphere. Earth's gravity is strong enough to hold you down, and gases like nitrogen and oxygen (at the Earth's temperature). But it's not strong enough to hold on to the lightest gases - hydrogen and helium. The molecules in a gas have their velocities distributed as in the below diagram:
Ceteris paribus, the molecules in a hotter gas will have higher gas will move faster. Also, lighter molecules move faster. Some fraction of the molecules in the right tail of the distribution will have a velocity higher than the escape velocity of the planet; those molecules will be lost to outer space. A planet the size of Earth could only retain hydrogen and helium if it were further from the Sun and hence colder.
Earth's rotation gives rise to a small centrifugal force. You weigh less at the equator than at the poles for this reason. But not a lot less. The speed of Earth's orbital motion makes no difference. It's acceleration that counts - but the atmosphere is accelerated by the Sun's gravity just like the rest of the planet, so there's no tendency for it to pull away from the surface (more or less - the atmosphere actually is affected by tidal forces just like the oceans.)
Theres no such thing as gravity just buoynacy
"Gravity" is that magical word that they use to describe something when they don't have and answer for or can't create a sufficient lie that even the most indoctrinated would call bullshit.
If they throw "gravity" out there the indoctrinated eat that shit up. You can use that word to describe anything they want even though they can't quite prove exactly what it is. People will even go so far as to believe without question that gravity is an excellent container.
