Out from the planet itself, there are also electromagnetic layers which manipulate the overall charge of the surface vs the clouds. It's not non-existent by any means at all.

When you fly through clouds you see water forming as you move through them and this is particularly true where storm conditions exist.

Why doesn't it fall from the sky much sooner? Why is there any up there at all, condensed down to the medium of a cloud?

Electrostatic charge. There are highly charged bands of gas in layers that discourage gas from leaving. Water freezes into ice crystals. So basically you have Oxygen and Nitrogen pulled to the planet due to those

atomic weights you don't think are real. But they are.

The atmosphere is a couple of percent phase change refrigerant water - gas laws

which sublimates from ice back to water and evaporates again rising - uhm again,

scrubbing the entire thing of energy - the Nitrogen/Oxygen larger, overall bath. Gas laws.

Conditions predicting if there'll be icing on plane wings and more people die than at a full vax mandatory concert? Gas laws.

How much fuel will it take to get from here to there this season of the year? Gas laws.

Storm cells? Gas laws.

The holding up the bowling ball on the sealed ball? Gas laws.

So there's certainly some electromagnetic component holding the storm water off the ground. But the vast majority of it's just the gas laws that make sailing possible.

That make the winds flowing back and forth in bands, East-West, around the equator.

Double bands of winds there. Gas laws.

So I certainly see that argument, and concur. Yes I do. It's the only answer possible.

But gas species have molecular weights and there are gravitational instruments whose trajectory through regions can be manipulated. sensors can be held at reasonably reliable altitudes in large arcs, just mounted to drones programmed to track the layer.

So people know what the atmosphere is and why everything from breathing to volcanic explosions to flying giant sailing ships, jet-liners, and kid's kites.

Signs? How big braces need to be so they don't rip apart and fly into the road and kill and old couple and three $1200 lap dogs?

yeah that's regulated by wind speed resistance regulations based on those worthless gas laws that doesn't work, and nobody trusts.

All those skyscrapers that don't snap and fall over?

Understanding the gas laws' ability to impact them with debris, wind loads, makes it possible.

Wind loads are calculated on every single architectural structure that's of much importance.

None of that's real?
