An '''atmosphere''' is a gaseous layer that envelops an astronomical object. The [[Planets|planetary body]] (object) retains the atmosphere if its [[gravity]] is strong enough with a low atmospheric temperature. The outer region of a [[Stars|star]] is a stellar atmosphere. The [[Life Support]] module provides a breathable atmosphere inside a [[Ships|ship]]. | |||
