What keeps moons in their orbit?
gravity
The pull of what gravity on seawater cause tidal currents?
Our moons gravity.
Does the planet with the most moons get the strongest gravity?
In our solar system, at least, the planet with the greatest mass does happen to be the one with the most known moons. But I think the cause and effect work the other way. It's not the moons that give the planet strong gravity. It's the strong gravity of the planet that captures a bunch of moons.
How much stronger is the earths gravity than the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's.
Why are small moons like Deimos potato-shaped while larger moons are spherical?
Large moons are rounded by their own gravity, which tends to pull down any large projections. Low-mass moons have weaker gravity and so are unable to do this.
Do all of the moons not have gravity?
Everything has gravity, the bigger it is the more it has. Moons DO have gravity, but it might be less than Earth's.
Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the moons gravity effects when the tide comes in and goes out.
How do planets get there moons?
by gravity
What fraction of the moons gravity is the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is essentially identical to 100% of the moon's gravity, and results in gravitational forces on its surface that average about 16% of the corresponding forces on the Earth's surface.
What keeps moons in their orbit?
gravity
Is there grivity on Jupiter?
There is gravity. There is gravity on all planets, moons, and stars.
What does the galilean moons have to do with gravity?
Gravity keeps them in orbit around Jupiter.
Is our moons gravity one sixth of earth's gravity?
Yes, approximately.
The pull of what gravity on seawater cause tidal currents?
Our moons gravity.
Planets and moons are kept in orbit by the force of?
Mass and gravity
Why do Jupiter and Saturn have many moons?
because their gravity is so strong that the moons are pulled in.
Why do moons orbit Jupiter?
Moons orbit Jupiter because of the combined influence of gravity. and the forward motion of the moons. If there were gravity along, the moons would fall into Jupiter. If there were only forward motion, the moos would fly off into space.
