The earth and the sun are attracted toward each other by gravitational force.
That's the reason that the earth remains in orbit around the sun, and doesn't
go flying off on a tangent.
The question is an incorrect description of what's really going on.
Every two objects are attracted toward each other. That includes such pairs as
(me and the earth), (my two dogs), (your car and the moon), and (my left shoe
and the Statue of Liberty).
But the force is strong between some pairs of things, and weak between other pairs
of things. The strength of the force depends on the number you get when you multiply
the masses of the two objects together. And since the earth is the biggest thing around ...
by a long shot ... the number you get when one of the objects is the earth is always
a bigger number than what you get when neither object is the earth. In other words,
everything is attracted to everything, but the force toward the earth is always much
stronger than the force toward anything else, so you just don't notice it.
They are. Every atom of mass everywhere in the universe is attracted to every other atom.
But the force of gravity is decreased by the SQUARE of the distance between them. So two things far apart have a fairly low attractive force, unless the masses involved are very large. So the Sun (with 99.5% of all the mass in the solar system) is the primary attractive force. Mars and Venus are pulled together by gravity - but because of their small masses and great distances, the force is quite small.
The gravity on Earth is so strong, that the gravity to other objects on Earth get canceled out.
The only reason anything revolves around a bigger object is because gravity is stronger and so is the size. The sun has massive gravity so the other planets would revolve around it.
There is no "why". All of the planets, including Earth, do move, constantly.
Planets don't fall onto other planets or stars because their speed keeps them from falling. If they were to slow down then eventually they would fall onto something they're orbiting.
planets are always moving...
No. It is not "the Earth" that is tilted away or towards the Sun, it is the hemisphere in which you live. And if you have summer, that basically means that your hemisphere is tilted TOWARDS the Sun.

Just like every other bit of mass in the universe, an astronaut in space is attracted by gravitational forces toward the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, and every other body in the solar system, as well as toward the other astronauts traveling with him. The astronaut's motions are the result of the combination of all of these gravitational forces. Don't forget that an astronaut on a "space walk", floating "motionless" outside the Space Shuttle or the International Space Station, is still in orbit around the Earth, and also in orbit around the Sun. All of that is the result of gravitational forces between him and the Earth, and between him and the Sun.
It is because the Earth is tilted. As it orbits the sun there is a time that Antarctica is tipped away from the sun completely, so even when the Earth rotates the sun does not rise at all. The reverse happens at the other stage, with Antarctica being tipped towards the sun completely.It is because the Earth is tilted.

because people have a smaller mass than that of earth, they are attracted into earth's gravitational field. Theoretically, Earth is moving closer to the sun every day, so we technically are moving towards the sun.
The planet Earth, and everything on the Earth including us, is in orbit around the sun; so yes, we are gravitationally attracted toward the sun, but we don't move closer to the sun because that attraction is counter balanced by the angular momentum that keeps us in orbit.
Half of the Earth is always towards the Sun.
The moon orbits Earth because it is held there by Earth's gravity. The moon is going fast enough that it won't hit Earth, but at the same time is being pulled back in at the same rate it flies away. The same is true for why Earth itself doesn't fly into the sun. the sun is MUCH MUCH MUCH further away than the earth is, so it is attracted to earth because the difference in size and gravity favour the earth. If it was to be attracted to the sun, the sun would need to be bigger or closer (both of which it is doing at aconstant rate, but very gradually over a long perios of time)
Earth orbiting the sun is a planet that is attracted to a star.
We do.BUTThe effect is so very very tiny that you can't tell its happening.
Yes. The earth and the sun are mutually attracted by their gravitational fields. Which is why the earth stays in orbit round the sun
Gravity is a characteristic of space. Because of it, every material object encounters a force of attractiontoward every other material object. That leads to some interesting consequences:-- A satellite is attracted toward the earth.-- You are attracted toward the earth.-- The earth is attracted toward a satellite.-- A satellite is attracted toward you.-- The earth is attracted toward you.-- You are attracted toward a satellite.-- Two satellites are attracted toward each other.-- You are attracted toward Mars.-- The sun is attracted toward you.-- The sun is attracted toward a satellite.-- The sun is attracted toward my dog.-- You are attracted toward my dog, and also toward the sun.-- My dog is attracted toward Pres. Obama's golf balls....etc.
The Earth is not a magnet that may attract a body to the ground. The force of gravity of the Earth is balanced by the force of gravity of the other planets and the Sun. So you can walk. ( Einstein's famous equation.)
Yes. The Earth and then Sun pull each other towards each other.
The earth would be attracted by the sun, and as it came closer the sun, the earth would melt. The earth would probably collide with the sun before or after it would melt.
If you leave the Earth traveling towards the Sun you will come to Venus first. Mercury and Venus are the two planets between the Sun and the Earth.
