Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?
The moon orbits Earth.
Days of the orbit of the moon to orbit the earth?
there are roughly 12.5 looner orbits to 1 orbit of the earth The moon takes 27.32 days to orbit the Earth.
Does the space shuttle orbit the earth in what's called high orbit?
No. It is in low earth orbit.
True or False An artificial satellite in a high orbit will slow down and lose altitude due to the pull of Earth's gravity?
False. Why would it slow down? There is no friction in a high orbit; a satellite can orbit indefinitely. Only in low orbits will satellites slow down and fall from orbit, and the cause is the friction of the extremely tenuous final traces of Earth's atmosphere.
If the earth falls clear out of the sky what is going to happen?
The earth is held in its orbit due to the gravitational effect of the sun. Were the sun to lose its gravity, the earth would fly off into space and quickly freeze.
Does the sun orbit Earth?
No, the sun does not orbit Earth. Earth orbits around the sun.
What is it called when the moon moves around the earth?
This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
