How do moons orbit the planets?
the planets do not orbit the moon but the moon orbits the planets because of gravity and inertia
How do planets stay in orbit around the moon?
the moon orbits around the planet, not the other way around; gravity keeps it orbiting
Explain what effect the moon's gravity has on the sea?
Due to the moon's strong gravitational pull, relinquished by other planets, tides are formed.
Why do the earth moon and all the other planets revolve around the sun?
The planets revolve around the sun due to the force of gravity. Gravity causes objects with mass to be attracted to each other. The sun's massive gravitational pull keeps the planets in orbit around it.
What force keeps the planets and the Moon's to orbit?
Gravity
Would newtons change on the moon?
No. Newtons are a measurement of mass and are relative only to Earth's gravity and are not affected by changes in gravity. Only weight is affected by changing gravity. On Earth, weight and mass are the same because Earth's gravity is the benchmark constant for measuring mass in Newtons, and weight is affected by that very same factor (Earth's gravity). On other planets, mass is unchanged because the Earthly gravity is a constant (and therefore, unchanged), and the weight changes because now it is affected by a new planetary gravity.
What effect does the moon have on other planets?
The moon's effect on other planets is minimal compared to its influence on Earth. The moon's gravity can cause slight motions in the planets, but these effects are typically very small due to the planets' larger size and distance from the moon. Overall, the moon primarily affects Earth's tides and to a lesser extent, the movement of celestial bodies within our solar system.
What prevent's a planets moon from flying off into space?
Gravity.
What is gravity and how does it affect planets and the oceans?
'Gravoty' is an attraction between any two or more objects, be those objects atoms, protons or planets. stars andything in between. The planets have gravity , the Sun has gravity. They are attracted to each other. So why do they not 'crash' into each other? Because, the planets are moving with an acceleration. This acceleration together with the planets mass creates are force (F = ma). This force is balanced by the Sun's force of gravity. So the forces are in balance, so the planets orbit the Sun and not fall into the Sun. The oceans on Earth, being liquid, will be attracted to the Moon by Lunar gravity. So which side of the Earth the Moon is on , will be the 'High Tide'. This is balabnced 'Like a wheel balance', by a counter High Tide on the opposite side of the Earth, from the Moon.
Why is it that the earth is not affected by the Moon's gravity?
Earth is affected by the moon's gravity. The moon's gravity exerts just as much force on Earth as Earth's gravity does on the moon, but since Earth is far more massive, it undergoes far less acceleration.
What holds the moon and planets in place?
Gravity is what holds the moon and planets in place. The gravitational force between these celestial bodies and the larger objects like the sun keeps them in their orbits and maintains their positions in the solar system.
How have asteroids affected planets and the moon?
They have collided them and created craters.
