losing more atmosphere to convection? i don't think that's how that works
I vaguely remember some slips away over time, and is generally ~replaced by space bullshit that burns off in the atmosphere. We are on a rock swishing around in mostly-vacuum.
i looked it up properly and according to https://faculty.washington.edu/dcatling/Catling2009_SciAm.pdf we basically only lose hydrogen and helium, and we do so very very slowly (3kg/s for hydrogen, 50g/s for helium).
Well,pretty close for a guess based on nothing. I guess we can be confident we'll have an atmosphere to cook in.
