How does the moon stay close to earth?
The Earth's gravity holds the Moon in its orbit.
Is there gravity in outer space?
Yes, gravity exists in outer space. Gravity holds the moon in its orbit around the earth. It holds the earth in orbit around the sun. It holds the milky way galaxy together. It holds the local group of galaxies together. And the local group of galaxies might be a group of a string of galaxies held together by the great attractor.
What do earth and the moon form together?
The Earth and the moon form a system together. Solar eclipse is an event in which the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun and the moon's shadow falls on Earth.
What holds the moon up in the sky?
The orbital path of the moon and gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth keep it up there where it is supposed to be.
Which moon broke apart and was placed back together?
Luna (Earth's Moon)
How does the moon stay close to earth?
The Earth's gravity holds the Moon in its orbit.
What holds earth together Think of the earth as the nucleus of an atom. And around the earth are electrons. These electrons create magnetic energy that holds earth together.?
Electrons produce a magnetic force that holds earth together and trees
Is there gravity in outer space?
Yes, gravity exists in outer space. Gravity holds the moon in its orbit around the earth. It holds the earth in orbit around the sun. It holds the milky way galaxy together. It holds the local group of galaxies together. And the local group of galaxies might be a group of a string of galaxies held together by the great attractor.
What holds earth's atmosphere together?
the gravitational force holds its atmosphere together
What do earth and the moon form together?
The Earth and the moon form a system together. Solar eclipse is an event in which the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun and the moon's shadow falls on Earth.
Why is the chemical composition of earth atmosphere important?
The Chemical Composition of the Earth's atmosphere is important because it holds the Earth together.
Does the sun and moon spin around the earth?
No, the Earth and the Moon revolve together around the Sun. (The Moon orbits the Earth and both orbit the Sun together.)
The earth and the moon travel together around what?
The moon orbits the earth and together the earth and the moon orbits the sun. Together the solar system orbits the center of the milkyway (where it is thought to be a black hole).
What makes moon revolve?
the earths gravity holds the moon so it orbits the earth.
What holds the moon?
The moon maintains its orbit due to the balance between the earth's gravity and the moon's inertia.
How does the moon cause earthquakes?
It is not presently known for certain that the moon causes earthquakes, but it is likely that the moon does have, at least, some effect. The moon has gravity of its own, and the pull of this gravity reaches out to earth as the moon orbits the earth, reducing the effect of earth's gravity over the portion of the earth that is directly under a moon. Earth's gravity is what holds the planet together -- it holds the atmosphere in place, the oceans on the crust, the crust on the mantle and keeps the mantle and core in place. This small but continuous tug on the Earth can cause resettling and friction within the earth, which can create earthquakes, especially in constant motion as the Moon is in orbit of the earth. The Moon has quakes of its own (the Apollo program left seismology instruments on the Moon to measure this), and it is believed some of the deep moonquakes are caused by Earth's tidal effects on the Moon.
Does the moon keep the earth from wobbling?
Yes, the moon helps to keep our orbit stable. We'd be in trouble, over the long term, anyway, without the moon. the moon also helps the tide move in and out, so without the moon, no surfing
