What else can I help you with?
After a shuttle is launched into orbit what happens to gravity?
There is no gravity in space but the shuttle stays in orbit because of the Earths gravity and inertia. The inertia keeps it going in a circular motion. In space the Earth's gravity is strong enough to hold something in orbit but not strong enough to pull it to Earth's surface.
What keeps the planets in the solar system in orbit around the sun?
The Sun's strong gravity keeps all the planets in orbit around it.
What force keeps the moons of Jupiter in orbit around the planet?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter by the force of gravity.
Which planet gravitation pull equals that of the earth?
Of the eight planets in orbit about our sun, Venus has gravity almost as strong as ours.
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
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.
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?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter due to the planet's strong gravitational pull. This gravitational force keeps the moons in check and prevents them from moving away into space. They orbit around Jupiter because of the balance between their inertia and the gravitational force pulling them towards the planet.
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.
What keeps them in orbit?
gravity
Why does the earth have a orbit?
Gravity
