When it an object in space in moving it will keep moving at the same speed with the property of inertia. Then moon is an object that has inertia. Gravity keeps the moon from going off into outer space but inertia keeps the moon from crashing into the moon. Gravity and inertia have to be balanced in order for an object to remain in orbit.

Does gravity have an effect on satellites in orbit?
Yes; gravity keeps them in orbit in the first place.Yes; gravity keeps them in orbit in the first place.Yes; gravity keeps them in orbit in the first place.Yes; gravity keeps them in orbit in the first place.
Are satellites orbiting earths gravity?
No. They orbit Earth; and the reason they orbit is because of gravity.
What is the force that keeps planet in orbit?
the suns gravity keeps the planets in orbit
What role does gravity play in the orbit of the earth and the mo?
Gravity plays the central role; without gravity, there would be no such thing as an orbit.
Why do the moons stay in orbit around Jupiter?
Any moon is held in orbit by gravity, just as the planets are held in orbit around the sun by gravity.
Is tis correct the force of gravity keeps Earth in its orbit or is it friction not gravity?
Friction has 100% nothing to do this the Earths orbit, its gravity and inertia.
Why does the earth have a orbit?
Gravity
What keeps them in orbit?
gravity
How much gravity is in water?
There is not a lot of gravity in space, but there is enought to keep the planets in orbit around the Sun.
Is the moon kept in orbit by gravity or lunar phases?
Gravity.
How inertia and gravity combine to keep earth in orbit?
gravity and inertia combine to keep earth in orbit because the suns gravity keeps the earth in orbit and the inertia keeps the earth from going in a straight line.
Why is there no gravity outside your atmosphere?
There certainly is gravity outside the atmosphere. For example, it is gravity that keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth, and the Earth in orbit around the Sun.
