  1. it also dusts


  2. it dust

  3. yes, because its so small that its speed is more than the escape velocity so it goes to space

    the escape velocity= Gm/r^2

    where r is the radius of earth, G is gravitational constant and m is mass of an object(here hydrogen), so as its mass is so small, its escape velocity is very small too, so it leaves the earth's gravitational field very easily.

    to make it clearer: the speed of molecules and atoms can be calculated by the formula:

    V= Sqrt(3RT/M)

    where R is the ideal-gas constant=8.3, T is the temperature in kelvin, and M is the mass of the particle. so you see the smaller the mass the the greater the speed of the particle in earth's atmosphere and for hydrogen the speed is so large that it exceeds the earth's escape speed and it leaves earth's gravitational field.

  4. Try restating the question in proper English to see if you actaully get an answer.
