What attractive force keeps the moon in orbit around earth?
Gravity is what keeps them in attraction. The force of Gravity is determined by the mass and distance between two or more objects. The other force that keeps the moon in orbit is the moon's inertia. Without inertia the moon would simply fall into Earth; because of Gravity, the same would happen with the planets and the sun.
How many planets away is the moon from the earth?
The moon is Earth's closest neighbor in space and the only natural object to orbit it. Counting it in "planets away from Earth" does not make any sense as the planets revolve around the sun, not Earth.
Which planet in our solar system has only one moon?
Many planets have only one moon. For example, Earth only has one moon. There are likely to be billions of planets in our universe with just one moon. As you can imagine, the list of these would take a long time to write out. We will only have discovered a small amount of actual planets that fit this description though.
How many planets have moon in solar system?
there are 5 planets in the solar system which have moon and the planets are earth, mars,jupiter,saturn,and uranus
What planets are surrounding earth?
Only the Moon surrounds or orbits the Earth, this is a moon and not a planet though. All of the planets, by definition, orbit (or surround) the sun.
What would happen if you blow up the moon?
Earth's oceans would lose their tides and the debris would form rings around the Earth, just like the outer planets have.
What would happen if there were no zodiac?
If the zodiac never existed I suspect another method would be used to interpret how the movement of the Sun, Moon and planets affect people and events on Earth.
What might happen if a black hole about the size of the moon drifted past the earth at the same distance?
IF? If it were moon size it would be more massive than the sun, therefore the Earth (and the moon) would be crumbled into dust by the tidal strain, all the inner planets would be thrown completely out of orbit, the orbits of the outer planets would be severely distorted, and the sun's orbit around the galaxy would be markedly shifted.
What would happen if the moon orbited earth in one day?
Techincally speaking that would never happen. The moon would have to be VERY close to the Earth. The moon moves away from the earth 1.75 inches away from the earth each year, making the hours of the day longer. If the moon did orbit the earth in one day, this would happen around the time period the moon formed in space.
How many planets does Earth have?
Earth has no planets of its own. It is one and has one moon.
What are the planets on the moon?
None. The Earth's moon is not a planet and there are no planets "ON" any moon. Many planets in the solar system have several moons.
What attractive force keeps the moon in orbit around earth?
Gravity is what keeps them in attraction. The force of Gravity is determined by the mass and distance between two or more objects. The other force that keeps the moon in orbit is the moon's inertia. Without inertia the moon would simply fall into Earth; because of Gravity, the same would happen with the planets and the sun.
How many planets is the moon from the sun?
The moon orbits the Earth. Venus and Mercury are the planets that are closer to the Sun than the Earth is.
What would happen if the sun crashed in to the moon?
Earth would blow up along with the moon.
What would happen if the moon and earth were moving at the same speed?
There would never be a full moon.
How many earth planets fit into the moon?
The Moon is a lot smaller then the Earth.
How do moon changes?
The moon changes shape as the planets (in this case the planet would be Earth) rotate around the sun.
