For a planet to have an atmosphere, gravity must be sufficient to keep the gas from escaping The escape speed a particle needs to escape the earth's gravitational attraction is 1.1 x 10 m/s. The motion of projectiles never depends on mass, so this escape speed applies equally to rockets and to molecules in the earth's upper atmosphere.
