Velocity and gravity (movement around the Earth and the gravity of the Earth pulling on it).
The Sun's gravity keeps the Earth (and all the planets) in orbit around it. Yes, but obviously there's more to it or the planet would go into the Sun. It is the Earth's orbital velocity ( technically known as its tangential velocity) which, together with the force of gravity, keeps the Earth in orbit.
The velocity of a any object to surpass the gravity of earth commonly known as escape velocity is 11.2Km/s.
One common example is when an object falls freely due to gravity. As the object accelerates towards the Earth, its velocity changes because gravity is constantly acting on it. The object's velocity increases as it falls towards the ground.
I think the planet earth has more gravity
Because we are being carried round with it, and the angular velocity is not sufficient to overcome gravity.
When an object is dropped from a height, gravity causes it to accelerate towards the ground. This acceleration leads to a change in velocity as the object's speed increases. The change in velocity occurs because gravity exerts a force on the object, pulling it towards the Earth.
Because of gravity.
because the weight of the moon is balanced by the centrifugal force of gravity as the moon is in orbit traveling around the earth at high velocity
the earth moves around because of the suns gravity. Its not rocket science.
The moon orbits around the Earth due to gravitational attraction between the two bodies. This gravitational force keeps the moon in orbit as it moves around the Earth. Additionally, the moon's velocity and the balance between gravitational pull and centripetal force also contribute to its orbital motion.
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.
