the earth travels around the sun in a roughly circular path because the sun's gravity is pulling on the earth. The earth does not fall in to the sun, because it is moving very fast, which gives it centripetal momentum.
Its kind of like a tether ball spinning around the pole. The rope represents the suns gravity pulling on the earth. When you hit the ball it goes around the pole in a circular path.
The moon circles the earth in the same way
What else can I help you with?
Can the moon orbit around the sun?
No, the moon orbits around the Earth, not the sun. This is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon. The moon's orbit around the Earth is what causes its phases and affects tides on Earth.
What causes the moon to orbit around the sun?
the moon doesent orbit the sun, the earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits the earth.
How many day does the moon orbit the sun?
The Moon does not orbit the Sun. It orbits the Earth.
Why doesn't the moon orbit around the sun like the earth does?
The moon does orbit the sun. The moon orbits round the earth, while both earth and the moon orbits round the sun.
What is in orbit with the Earth?
The moon. The earth is in orbit around the sun, but the moon goes with it, orbiting the earth directly and orbiting the sun indirectly.
Does the moon and sun orbit earth?
No it does notNo we are not the only planet in the galaxy we have 8 other planets to. if the earth and the moon was that close to the sun we wouldn't be living.
How long for Moon to orbit Sun?
The Moon actually orbits the Earth, which it does in 28 days, but if you consider the Earth and the Moon as a double system, then the Moon orbits the Sun once a year, just as the Earth does. The Moon is much closer to the Earth than the Earth and the Moon are to the Sun.
Why does the moon orbit the sun?
it doesn't orbit the sun it orbits the earth
Is the earth's natural satellite the sun?
no, the moon is the Earths natural satellite, the moon is in orbit around the Earth. The whole Earth/Moon system is then in orbit around the sun.
When the moon rotates around the sun what happens to the moon?
The Moon does not orbit the Sun; it orbits the Earth. The Earth orbits the Sun.
Dose the moon and the earth orbit around the sun?
The Moon orbits the Earth, the Earth orbits the Sun
How does the moon take to orbit the sun?
The moon does not orbit the sun independently; it orbits the earth. So the moon orbits the sun in about 365 and a quarter days, just like earth.
