How is the size of a planet related to the thickness of its atmosphere

The bigger the planet the bigger the gravitational pull of the planet , which is also stipulated in Newton Law of gravity. The bigger the planet, therefore, the bigger the atmosphere it would have. This is because its gravity is able to overcome the kinetic energy of the gas molecules (especially when heated by rays from a star they are orbiting) that would allow the gas atoms/molecules to escape into space. This is also why the large planets are all gas giants such as Jupiter.
