Yes, but the Gravitational pull is also at play.

What force keeps the moon in orbit around the sun?
The force of gravity that they exert on each other, and the velocities of the Moon and Earth which is their "inertia".
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.
What force will not effect inertia if its force is zero?
Force does not affect inertia in general. Inertia can basically be identified with the mass.
What force orbits around the earth?
No force orbits around the Earth. Forces do not orbit. The force that keeps material objects in orbit around the Earth is the mutual force of gravity between the Earth and the object.
Inertia will not be affected when this type of force is zero.?
Inertia will not be affected when "net" or "net force" is zero.
What keeps the earth in orbit around the sun and moon in orbit around earth?
The force of gravity and the inertia of the Earth (as it orbits the Sun). Also, gravity combined with the inertia of the Moon (as it orbits the Earth).
What keeps the moon in orbit around earth and earth in orbit around the sun?
The force of gravity and the inertia of the Earth (as it orbits the Sun). Also, gravity combined with the inertia of the Moon (as it orbits the Earth).
What force keeps a hat traveling from the top to the bottom of the stairs?
The force is inertia
The force that makes objects keep traveling in a straight line?
inertia
How does gravity work against inertia?
The moon has inertia and wants to keep going in a straight line but the earth has a larger gravitational pull and wants to pull the moon towards it. This causes the moon to circle or orbit the earth.
What force keeps the moon in orbit around the sun?
The force of gravity that they exert on each other, and the velocities of the Moon and Earth which is their "inertia".
What keeps the moon ins orbit around earth?
That's the mutual force of gravitation (gravity) between the Earth and the Moon. This, combined with the Moon's velocity (its inertia), results in the orbital path that the Moon follows.
What force stops the moon moving away from the Earth?
Gravity is the force holding the Moon to the Earth. Without gravity, the Moon would go flying off into space.Without gravity, the EARTH would go spinning off into space.Heck, without gravity, all of US would go spinning off into space.Gravity.
What force keeps the moon in orbit round the earth?
Gravity and Inertia
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.
What would happen if the earth suddenly stops revoving?
When the Earth is revolving a force know as centripetal force is applied on it by the sun or in other words we can say that it is the gravitational pull of sun towards itself and there is another force known as centrifugal force that one feels when traveling a circular path; directed outward, it is actually the inertia of an object that is resisting being pulled in a circular path. when the earth stops revolving then there is no centrifugal force and the centripetal force will be acting on Earth which will cause earth to fall in the sun.
What happens if the moon doesn't have inertia as it travels around the earth?
If the moon doesn't have inertia, it means that if any force whatsoever is applied to it, it will be way out of wack. Inertia causes something to be resistant against a change in motion so if the moon had too much inertia, it would not move at the proper speed and Earth would be affected by its drop in movement. If the moon had no inertia, it wouldn't continue to keep its proper and exact distance from the earth and Earth would be affected by its increase in movement.Hope this helps!! =)
