Which force is responsible for earth revolving around the sun?
Gravity.Gravity.Gravity.Gravity.
The force of attraction that keeps the earth revolving around the sun is called?
Gravity.
The source of the centripetal force that keeps the Earth revolving around the Sun is?
gravity
Which force is responsibel for revolving the planet around the sun?
gravitational force
How did the earth's natural satellite formed explain with pictures?
First due to gravitational force of earth a metroid fall on earth and after it was in several pieces and according to gravitational force of earth the pieces started revolving around the earth . After some years the pieces combined themselves and this combination was called moon
Would the moon and the earth fall towards each other faster than a pebble and the earth because of their greater mass?
Yes, if they were stand still and were not revolving around each other! The Centrifugal force of Moon's revolution around Earth keeps them apart
What would happen if the earth suddenly stops revoving?
When the Earth is revolving a force know as centripetal force is applied on it by the sun or in other words we can say that it is the gravitational pull of sun towards itself and there is another force known as centrifugal force that one feels when traveling a circular path; directed outward, it is actually the inertia of an object that is resisting being pulled in a circular path. when the earth stops revolving then there is no centrifugal force and the centripetal force will be acting on Earth which will cause earth to fall in the sun.
What holds the earths orbit around the earth?
WHAT HOLDS THE EARTH IN ITS ORBIT REVOLVING AROUND THE SUN?In fact the Earth's orbit is a sort of equilibrium. The Earth's revolutions around the Sun provides it with centripetal force. A force that wants to eject it out of its orbit. That same force that wants to eject you out of your car when you are in a tight bend.However (and fortunately) there exist a strong gravitational force (attracting force) between the Sun and the Earth. It happens that the centripetal force ejecting the Earth is equal and hence balances the gravitational force pulling it towards the earth. As a result the Earth continues its motion around the Sun, undisturbed.As a conclusion, I'll say that what holds the Earth around the Sun it a result of 2 forces acting opposite to each other, namely the centripetal force pulling it away from the Sun and the gravitational force pulling it towards the Sun.
Why this satellite keeps on revolving around earth?
Which satellite are you referring to ? Satellites stay in orbit because the force trying to 'throw them out into space' is counter-balanced by the gravitational pull of the earth. Those that are revolving round the planet (as opposed to geostationary ones) do so, because they were set in a side-ways motion when they were launched.
What force orbits around the earth?
No force orbits around the Earth. Forces do not orbit. The force that keeps material objects in orbit around the Earth is the mutual force of gravity between the Earth and the object.
Why law of gravitation important to us?
1) The gravitational force of attraction of the Earth binds all terrestrial objects to the Earth 2) The gravitational force of earth keeps the atmosphere close to earth 3) The moon revolve around the earth 4) The gravitational pull of the sun on the planet keeps them revolving around the sun 5) The tides formed by the rising & falling of water level in the oceans are due to the gravitational force of sun & moon on the water
What force is everywhere around earth?
The force of gravity is both everywhere around and inside Earth.
