If earth didn't have a atmosphere. Earth's center wouldn't read much pressure/mass. because there wouldn't be a force pushing the top layers down to the center.

The force that causes the object to move of course!
Gravity can be a lot of things. And there is not a lot that can pull on the 10kg mass.
Except gravity...
You still have not explained why you think a vacuum somehow stops gravity....

I see. So atmospheric pressure keeps satellites in orbit?
It depends, but assuming all things being equal, it would move toward the nearest, greatest mass.
If you have a infinite vacuum space. In witch direction would the solid travel in this vacuum space?
Yes, they would.
If you have two solids within this vacuum space would they attract each other? Not necessarily right?
No. It doesn't.
It all depends on their energy out put.

Yes. The satellites are kept in orbit by staying just above our atmosphere in a atmosphere that is close to a vacuum.edit on 27.06.08 by spy66 because: (no reason given)

Interesting. According to this source
www.globalcomsatphone.com... satellites vary in orbital altitude from 80 miles to over 22,000 miles. Do you still like that theory?

The atmosphere acts as a cushion of sorts, keeping the satellites aloft?
What causes them to travel in a curved path rather than fly off into space? Oh, and what moves them?edit on 31-10-2012 by DenyObfuscation because: sticky shift button

Yeah. Why don't they put long lasting satellites within our atmosphere? Because they would fall faster to the ground.
There is a reason why some are higher than others.

Read this en.wikipedia.org...
and you may understand you know nothing at all about gravity and physics.

Yes it would depend on the out put of the other mass or both masses. Two suns would never attract each other. Because their energy out put is to large.

This may save some time. SOHO is in a halo orbit about the L1 point 1,000,000 miles from Earth. Can you explain this without gravity?
Are you aware that the sun is a star, and stars do collide with each other on occasion? Some stars in the sky are the result of two stars colliding.
