In fact, the Earth is moving away from the Sun at about 15cm per year. This is due to the Sun losing mass as it converts hydrogen into energy and because of tidal interference

no =)


What pulls Earth closer to the sun?

Why do you not notice Jupiter's pull of gravity?

Because you are so far away from Jupiter, and so much closer to the Earth.


What happens as you get closer to the center of the earth?

As we get closer to the center of the earth, the gravity of earth increases and the heat too increases...thats what i think.


Does gravity have more effect the closer you are to earth?

Yes, gravity decreases with the square of the distance.


Moon orbits eath instead of the sun why?

Because Earth's gravity holds it in orbit. Earth is much closer so its gravity is stronger.However, the moon does orbit the Sun, it simply orbits the Earth in addition to orbitting the Sun.


What happens to the climate the closer you getting the equator?

it gets a lot warmer.. because you are closer to the sun (due to the earth's round shape)


Do you weigh more closer to the moon or halfway?

half way. this is because the closer you are to Earth, the more gravity you have weighing down on you so you weigh more. The moon has less gravity than the Earth so you would weigh less. However, your mass always stays the same.


How do earth and other objects move in space?

The movement of the planets (inertia) moves them perpendicular to the sun at about the same rate that the gravity from the sun pulls the planets in. The gravity of the sun is a little stronger as the earth is slowly, but continuously getting closer to the sun.


Where is acceleration due to gravity greater?

Acceleration due to gravity is greater at the surface of the Earth compared to higher altitudes or in outer space. This is because the force of gravity is stronger closer to the center of mass of an object, such as the Earth.


Which has a greater effect on the tide the sun or moon?

The moon - because its closer - and therefore the gravity field across the Earth is more different.
