Zero, assuming current conditions. However, when the sun runs out of hydrogen in roughly 5 billion years, it will expand and then collapse. It is not clear whether earth will remain a burned out cinder orbiting the dead sun, or will be literally consumed (falling through the earth's surface) during the sun's expansion.
What else can I help you with?
What are pieces of rocks that actually strike Earth's surface are called?
As a rock is falling through the atmosphere, it is a meteor. When it hits the earths surface, it is a meteoroid.
Why a falling object to earth's gravity does not continue forever?
Once it hits the Earth's surface, it will stop falling.
WHAT do you call a rock falling through earths atmosphere?
When a rock falls through Earth's atmosphere, it is called a meteoroid. If it survives the journey and lands on Earth's surface, it is then called a meteorite.
What are Pieces of rock that actually strike Earth's surface called?
Pieces of rock that actually strike Earth's surface are called meteorites. When these fragments of asteroids or comets survive the journey through Earth's atmosphere and land on the surface, they are termed meteorites.
Is the falling of the water or anywater from air to the surface of the earth?
condensation
Why geostationary satellite not falling to ground?
Because they're moving 'sideways' at more than 6,000 miles per hour, out where the acceleration of gravity is only about 3% of what it is on Earth's surface. The satellite is falling allright, but the Earth's curved surface is falling away exactly as fast as the satellite itself is falling toward it, so the satellite's altitiude above the surface never changes.
How do plants change the earth surface?
By, trees falling,taking over homes
Ignoring air resistance what is the velocity of an object falling toward the surface of the earth?
The velocity of an object falling towards the surface of the Earth will increase by a rate of approximately 9.8 m/s² due to gravity. This acceleration would continue until the object reaches terminal velocity or impacts the surface of the Earth.
What force acting on a meteor falling down through the earths atmosphere?
The main force acting on a falling meteor through the Earth's atmosphere is gravity. Gravity pulls the meteor downward towards the Earth's surface, causing it to accelerate as it falls. Air resistance also plays a role in slowing down the meteor's descent as it interacts with the atmosphere.
Why do the satellite not fall while revolving around the earth?
They do fall. But they're traveling fast enough so that the surface of the Earth falls away from them as fast as they are falling. Same thing that keeps the Earth from falling into the sun.
What is a freely falling projectile?
A freely falling projectile is an object that is only acted upon by gravity, moving through the air in a parabolic path while falling towards the ground. It does not have any initial horizontal force or acceleration other than gravity acting upon it.
True or false tides result from the rising and falling of the ocean's surface caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon earth?
True. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans, which result in the rising and falling of the ocean's surface levels.
