Which type of force is responsible for keeping the moon in the orbit around earth?
Gravitational Force is responsible for keeping the moon in the orbit around Earth.
How the force responsible for the moon revolves around the earth?
The moon revolves around the earth - due to a balance between gravity and centrifugal force.
What causes the effect of microgravity when the space shuttle is orbiting the earth?
Centrifugal force.The orbiter is going so fast that the force created by going around the earth offsets the force gravity.
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 keeps the moon orbiting around the earth?
Orbits are established by the combined effects of gravitational attraction and relative velocity. In other words, the moon, like any orbiting body, moves forward (tangent to its orbit) at a speed just sufficient to ensure that as it falls toward the earth due to gravity, it has moved far enough that the two motions combine to keep it at a roughly stable distance from the earth.
What force is responsible for the moon orbiting earth and earth orbiting the sun?
The force of gravity.
What force is responsible for orbiting motions of the sun moon and earth?
The force of gravity.
Which type of force is responsible for keeping the moon in the orbit around earth?

What force keeps the moon in orbit around the sun?
The force of gravity that they exert on each other, and the velocities of the Moon and Earth which is their "inertia".
What is the force for the moon orbiting the earth?
Gravity
How the force responsible for the moon revolves around the earth?

Is the force that makes an apple fall the same force that keeps the earth orbiting around the sun?
Yes - the same gravity that makes the apple fall from the tree - keeps the earth in orbit around the sun.
What force is made when the moon is orbiting the Earth?
