Star formation

Sorry if this is an FAQ, but it5 has long made me wonder and I have never
seen an explanation.
The Earth massive as it is, is too slight to have hydrogen in the
atmosphere. I think that is because the speed of the molecules exceeds,
just about, the escape velocity. Given that, how did stars form from
hydrogen?
