It interacts through its gravity field. The main interaction is with the Sun which holds it in a stable nearly circular orbit.
Charged particles from the sun are "captured" in the van Allen radiation belt (due to the Earth magnetic field).

What is the space in which magnet can act?
Magnetism is important in space in that space is filled with charged bodies that are moved by the magnetism. An example is, the Earth Magnetic shield deflects charged particles and protects the earth's atmosphere.
What objects in outer space can hit earth and cause major damage to earth?
Some objects in outer space that can damage the earth could be the following: Asteroids Sun Particles Rocks from other planets Space bombs Fire Other objects flying around in space
Which force is stronger the force of the moon on the earth or the force of the earth on the moon and how can you prove this?
When two bodies attract each other the larger one exerts the larger force because it contains more matter. Every particle of matter in the Universe is attracting every other. So the Earth exerts the stronger force on the Moon. The Space explorers have shown that on the Moon they weigh about one sixth of what they weight on Earth.
When there is a full moon where are the Moon Sun and Earth relative to each other in space?
They are in a line with Earth in the middle.
Does space shuttle revolve around earth before going to other planets?
Space shuttles are not designed to go to other planets, they stay in a near earth orbit, orbiting earth several times in a mission before returning back to earth. They don't really go far from our planet.
How do other heavenly bodies affect your planet?
The sun effects the Earth because of the particles that get thrown out into space can interact with the Earths atmosphere and effect it. The moon has a gravitational effect on Earth and so makes the tides in the ocean happen. There are many other reasons!
What is the field of study of astronomy?
Any study that involves any object in space other than Earth or how the Earth interact with other objects.
What is residual gravity?
Residual gravity is the effective gravity that exists between the earth-moon or the earth-sun combination. When two heavenly bodies interact such as the earth and the sun there is a difference in mass which causes a residual gravity to exist in the space between them. This residual gravity is responsible for the earth's orbit.
Can you ride an airplane to the moon?
No. An airplane is not designed to fly out of the Earth's atmosphere, only a space rocket has the ability to fly to other celestial bodies and space stations.
Name of the orbit around the sun?
The SHAPE of the orbit the Earth and most planets and other bodies of mass in space are usually elliptical.
What is planet earth?
Planet Earth is a big ball of mass in space. It has an atmosphere which contains our air. 90% of Earth is Oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, and other bodies of water. Earth is what you're standing on.
How does science define the term 'space'?
Space is the three-dimensional gravitational field in which all matter and energy exist and interact. It is measured in length, area, and volume. In astronomical and common parlance, the term refers to the near-empty region outside the earth's atmosphere as well as the atmospheres of all other bodies in the universe. It is the property of the universe in which material entities coexist with each other and have extension.
Why do we wear spacesuits in space?
Unlike earth, there is no atmosphere in space. it is essentially a vacuum with no pressure. our bodies aren't built to survive in an environment outside our atmosphere, so the space suit basically simulates the atmospheric pressure of earth, keeping our bodies intact.
Is it true that there is a planet that looks like earth in outer space?
Yes, if you were talking about size and looking if they both have mountains. There is no planet exactly like earth, because other planets in space don't contain life or bodies of water.
Why do you fall in space instead of float?
You fall in space instead of floating because of the gravitational pull of the earth or other celestial bodies. These planets and stars pull the person toward them.
Does space junk interact with asteroids?
This would happen, space junk could collide with asteroids, but most space junk is close to the earth, away from the main asteroid belt. It would be more likely to collide with meteroids and other bits of space junk.
What do astrophisics's do?
They are the same as physicists on the earth except they study the physics of space and celestial bodies
