Explain why planets and other objects orbit the sun?
Well, the simple answer is gravity is pulling them towards it. However, I don't think that is a good enough explanation. The leading idea now is that mass causes space-time to curve. What is says is that enourmously heavy objects (like the sun) actually bend space and time around it, drawing objects in. Kinda like those things at shopping malls where you drop in a penny, and it rides around the edge until falling in. Same basic principle. This also works for black holes, which is a "hole" in space. Just like water flowing towads a drain, everything curves around it. therefore, space itself would have to be curved. Gravity, I think, is actually themeasure of how much space is curved. In fact, here's an experiment: * Put basketball on the center of a table. The table is space, and the basketball is the sun. * Roll a grape by the basketball. The grape represents a planet. Notice how, when you roll it, the grape continues past without curving. If this were accurate, the grape should have rolled toward the ball. * Now, try the same trick with the basketball at the center of a large bowl. The grape should curve right into it, just like it would in space. that would mean that space was actually curved. Of course, all of this is theory, but it makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
Is earth falling in space?
That's kind of a loaded question, because the impact that the answer mayhave on you depends on what you mean by "falling".The answer is "yes", but that doesn't mean that you should imagine theEarth getting pulled down into some kind of sinister hole from which it cannever climb out."Falling" just means moving freely, without interference, under the influenceof gravity. When a bean rolls off the table, it moves freely toward the centerof the Earth under the influence of gravity, and falls to the floor. Gravity keepsthe Space Station and the Moon in orbit around theEarth, and they're bothcontinually falling around their orbits. The Earth is also continually falling ...in the orbit that it follows around the sun.
