Which two factors did Newton concluded combine keeping earth in orbit?
Newton concluded that the combination of the gravitational force between the Earth and the Sun, and the Earth's inertia moving it in a straight line, keep the Earth in orbit around the Sun.
How does inertia enable the earth to orbit the sun?
inertia is weird. haha.
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).
How does inertia and gravity combine to keeps earth in orbit?
The inertia of earth combines with gravity to keep it from colliding with the sun
What two forces keep the Earth in orbit around the sun instead of drifting away from it into space?
Which 2 are they -Magnetic force between the sun and earth -Electric force between the sun and earth -Planets spontaneously travel in elliptical paths -The sun's gravity and inertia
What to factors act together to keep earth in orbit around the sun?
The mutual gravitational attraction between the earth and the sun is the force that keeps the earth in orbit around the sun. It's the only force required, which is lucky, because it's the only force that exists.
What keeps the earth in orbit with the sun?
Gravity and Inertia keeps the earth in orbit
Why do the earth revolve around the sun?
A combination of inertia and gravity.
What role does inertia play in keeping the Earth in orbit around the sun?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to maintain its state of motion. In the case of Earth orbiting the sun, its inertia keeps it moving in a straight line. However, the gravitational pull of the sun constantly pulls on Earth, causing it to curve around in its orbit.
Does inertia take the earth closer or farther from the sun?
Neither, the Earth stays at the same distance from the Sun, more or less. The Earth's orbit is an ellipse, so the distance from the Sun varies a bit. Still, the inertia of the Earth basically exactly balances the Sun's gravitational attraction and the Earth just goes round and round the Sun at more or less the same distance all the time.
Inertia is the force that keeps earth traveling around the sun?
Yes, but the Gravitational pull is also at play.
