What makes the earth to rotate around the orbit?
The Earth condensed out of a rotating Solar Nebula, inheriting its angular momentum for the condensing cloud. The conservation of angular momentum allows the Earth to maintain its orbit.
Does the force of earth's gravity keep earth in its orbit around the sun?
You're half-way there. The mutual, equal gravitational forces between the Earth and Sun maintain the Earth's stable, closed, elliptical orbit around the Earth/Sun common center of mass.

What is the force that makes satellites orbit at the same height around the earth?
Gravity keeps satellites in orbit. The closer you are to the Earth, the faster you have to go to maintain your orbit. At low Earth orbit, the altitude of the Space Station, you make an orbit every 90 minutes. At the Moon's distance you need over 27 days to go around the Earth. In-between there is an altitude which matches the rate of the Earth's rotation. Many satellites orbit at this altitude.
What is the role of gravity in earth?
Gravity keeps things together here on Earth. It keeps the Earth together in the first place, and it keeps us on Earth. It keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun, and it keeps the Moon in orbit around Earth.
What 2 things keep something in orbit around the earth?
Mass & Velocity .
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.
Does Mars Orbit Around the Earth?
No, Mars does not orbit around the Earth. The moon orbits around around the Earth. Both Earth and Mars orbit around the sun, but Mars is farther away from the sun.
Does earth move around the sun in an orbit or an eliptical orbit?
The earth moves around the sun in a elliptical orbit.
Where do communications satellites orbit?
Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.
What is the telescope that is in orbit around the earth?
The telescope in orbit around the earth as of 2010 is the Hubble Telescope.
The path earth travels around the sun is called?
it is called and orbit, its elliptical (its like a streached out circle)
