What force orbits around the earth?
No force orbits around the Earth. Forces do not orbit. The force that keeps material objects in orbit around the Earth is the mutual force of gravity between the Earth and the object.
What force keeps planets and moons going in orbits?
The force of gravity causes orbits.
What attractive force keeps the moon in orbit around earth?
Gravity is what keeps them in attraction. The force of Gravity is determined by the mass and distance between two or more objects. The other force that keeps the moon in orbit is the moon's inertia. Without inertia the moon would simply fall into Earth; because of Gravity, the same would happen with the planets and the sun.
Inertia is the force that keeps earth traveling around the sun?
Yes, but the Gravitational pull is also at play.
What keeps planets in elliptical orbits?
Gravity and velocity (inertia) keeps planets in orbit around suns.
What force orbits around the earth?
No force orbits around the Earth. Forces do not orbit. The force that keeps material objects in orbit around the Earth is the mutual force of gravity between the Earth and the object.
What keeps the earth in orbit around the sun and moon in orbit around earth?
The force of gravity and the inertia of the Earth (as it orbits the Sun). Also, gravity combined with the inertia of the Moon (as it orbits the Earth).
What keeps the moon in orbit around earth and earth in orbit around the sun?
The force of gravity and the inertia of the Earth (as it orbits the Sun). Also, gravity combined with the inertia of the Moon (as it orbits the Earth).
What is the force that keeps the earth and the moon in their orbits?
Gravity.
Is Gravity is example of a centripetal force?
It can be. A centripetal force is not fundamental (such as gravity), it is the generic name given to a force that keeps objects moving in orbits (or circles). In the case of the Sun and the Earth, gravity is the centripetal force that keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun.
In an atom the electrons travel around the nucleus somewhat like a satellite orbits the earth The force that keeps the electrons in orbit is the?
Repelling Force of Gravity
What force keeps planets and moons going in orbits?
The force of gravity causes orbits.
What fundemental force keeps the earth in the sun?
You mean 'keeps in the orbit of the sun? Gravitational force of attraction keeps the earth going around the sun.
What attractive force keeps the moon in orbit around earth?
Gravity is what keeps them in attraction. The force of Gravity is determined by the mass and distance between two or more objects. The other force that keeps the moon in orbit is the moon's inertia. Without inertia the moon would simply fall into Earth; because of Gravity, the same would happen with the planets and the sun.
What are forces that keep the moon in orbit around the earth?
Gravity keeps planets in orbit as it spins it creates gravity and gravitational pull keeps the a lined
What is the force that keeps the earth in its orbit around the sun?
Gravity.
What holds earth in it's path as it revolves around the sun?
The mutual attractive force of gravity keeps the Earth in its orbit around the Sun.
