Do gasses find its own level too, just like water?
Genuine question, just a yes or no would be enough
In response to fact: What about air and the atmosphere?

It depends on the Relative Density of gas with its surrounding matter. If a gas is dense enough to flow like water, then it does find its own level.
in short no. liquid has a fixed volume, gas doesn't.
Of course gasses find their own level.
They spread out to fill the space available to them, but they don't just float off into what glober call "space".
The air we breathe stay here because it's part of a contained system.
If we weren't in a closed system, all of our atmosphere would escape into the "vacuum of space", which is just impossible under natural laws.
