An '''atmosphere''' is a gaseous layer that envelops an astronomical object. The object ([[Planets|planet]], [[moon]]) 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]].
