The history of atmosphere accretion has a large significance in the evolution of the Earth and other planets. Here we present a quantitative analysis of the Earth's response to large impacts (in the 1032-1038 erg energy range), and the resulting atmosphere loss owing to the global radial surface motion. Our results show that it is possible to deplete the Earth's atmosphere via this mechanism in very large (lunar-sized, ~ 1038 erg) impacts.
