I would disagree with that, where would the atmosphere go? The planet's exosphere is a constant and not a bubble that would burst when penetrated.......
The molecular weight of all the atmospheric elements is what keeps it surrounding this planet instead of flying off into space........
Oh, I know it’s not a balloon. However, if something with some decent mass came through, it could literally drag some atmosphere, affect our magnetic poles and change our rotation and orbit.
I know the risks are minuscule. But the magnetic pole flipping in the past has always made me curious.
I am not going to worry about.
