What is the force which keeps the satellite in orbit round the earth?
gravity
What force keeps the moon in orbit round the earth?
Gravity and Inertia
What holds the moon in its orbit round the earth?
Objects are held in their orbits by the force of gravity. The Moon moves round the Earth but is continuously being accelerated towards the Earth by the mutual force of gravity. Because the Moon is lighter, it moves more noticeably. The acceleration caused by the force makes the Moon continuously curve towards the Earth but its high speed prevents it falling inwards. That is how an orbit happens.
Why does the earth orbit round the sun?
Because the force due to universal gravitation that attracts the earth and sun toward each otherbends the earth's motion into a curve.That prevents the earth from moving in a straight line, as it would if there were no force of gravity.
What the meaning of the ORBIT?
an orbit is the circular movement of a planet going round the sun, or a moon going round a planet. Gravitaional force is what creates the orbit.
Is the moons or the earths gravitational force stronger or weaker?
The Earth's gravitation force is greater than the Moon, which keeps the Moon in orbit round the Earth.
What do planets do when they orbit the earth?
There are no planets orbiting the Earth because all eight of them orbit the Sun. But the Moon orbits the Earth, and all it does is go round and round in a rather complicated orbit which is disturbed by the Sun's gravity.
One complete round of a earth on its orbit is called what?
One complete round of Earth on its orbit around the Sun is called a "year." It takes approximately 365.25 days for Earth to complete one orbit.
What is the function for the earth's orbit around the sun?
The function describing earth's orbit round the sun is that for an ellipse.
What is one complete round of earth on orbit?
Rather simplified: one orbit of the Earth round the Sun is a year. One rotation of the Earth on its axis is a day and a night of 24 hours.
Why doesn't the moon orbit around the sun like the earth does?
The moon does orbit the sun. The moon orbits round the earth, while both earth and the moon orbits round the sun.
How is an orbit related to a year?
An orbit is the path followed by a planet as it travels regularly round the Sun. The Earth follows an orbit and completes one journey round its orbit in a year.
