they pull toward each other, but the earths orbital velocity compensates exactly for this

acceleration together due to gravity a = (G* (m1+m2))/d^2

acceleration that balances this a = v^2/d

:

G = newtons gravitational constant

m1 = sun mass

m2 = earth mass

d = distance between centres

v = orbital velocity

How does gravity affect electricity?

Gravity does not directly affect electricity. Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards each other, while electricity is the flow of charged particles. However, gravity can indirectly impact electricity by affecting the movement of objects that generate or use electricity, such as satellites in orbit.


Is it correct to say that satellites fall back to earth falling to earth because they are beyond the pull of earths gravity explain?

That is not English; that is not physics. Generally speaking, the speed of the satellite and gravity cancel each other. As the satellite slows (friction), gravity wins.


Does gravity affect all or only some of the objects in the universe?

Gravity affects all objects in the universe. It is a fundamental force that pulls objects with mass toward each other. The strength of gravity depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them.


How does gravity affect gravity?

Gravity is a fundamental force that causes objects with mass to be attracted to each other. The strength of gravity between two objects depends on their mass and distance. The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational pull will be on other objects.


Would having 2 moons affect the earths gravity why?

Another moon would not affect Earth's gravity. The gravity a body exerts is determined by its mass, not by the mass of objects affected by it. This would, however affect other things, chief among them tides, which are controlled by the gravity of the moon.


Is gravity a variable?

Gravity is a constant force that acts upon objects with mass, causing them to be attracted to each other. While the strength of gravity can vary based on the mass of the objects and their distance apart, it is not considered a variable in itself.


Why gravity doesn't attract different objects arround us towards each other?

Because gravity pulls everything to the center of the Earth. We and objects around do not create gravity fields so they do not pull anything, instead they are subject to Earths gravity and that's why things don't float off into the air!


How does the force of gravity affect the relationships among space objects?

Objects float in space because there is no gravity to pull the objects down. While on earth there is gravity so it pulls the objects to the ground.


Does gravity affect all objects?

Yes, gravity affects all objects in the universe. It is a force that pulls objects towards each other, and its strength depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them.


How does inertia affect gravity?

Inertia does not affect gravity, these are two entirely separate things, even though they both are produced by the same thing, which is mass. Mass creates both inertia and gravity, but inertia and gravity do not affect each other.
