Yes - the same gravity that makes the apple fall from the tree - keeps the earth in orbit around the sun.

What force is responsible for orbiting motions of the sun moon and earth?

The force of gravity.


What force keeps the moon in orbit around the sun?

The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the sun is the gravitational force between the sun and the moon. This force causes the moon to continuously fall towards the sun but its orbital motion prevents it from colliding with the sun.


What does force have to do with the moon orbiting the earth?

Force? As in The Force from Star Wars? Or a gravitation force? Care to explain?


What force keeps a moon from orbiting a planet?

The Moon is orbiting a planet; It is orbiting the Earth. The velocity /acceleration of the Moon and the gravitational pull between Earth and Moon are in balance, so the Moon remains orbiting the Earth. Similarly the Earth and Moon , as a binary system, orbit the Sun , and the acceleration and gravitational forces are in balance. So none of us collide.


What force keeps earth in orbit around the sun?

The force of gravity is the only force acting to keep bodies in orbit. It is the inertia (which is not a force) of these orbiting bodies that keeps them from actually being pulled together completely. Gravity and inerta act in "balance" to allow orbiting bodies to continue to move the way they do.


When you drop a 0.40 Kg apple earth exerts a force on it that accelerates it 9.8 ms2 toward the earth's surface according to Newton's third law the apple must exert an equal and opposite force on?

According to Newton's third law, the apple exerts an equal and opposite force on the Earth when it is dropped. This force is equal in magnitude to the force exerted on the apple and causes the Earth to accelerate towards the apple, although this acceleration is extremely small due to the Earth's large mass compared to the apple.
