What else can I help you with?
An astronaut inside a small space ship orbiting around the earth cannot detect gravity.If the space station orbiting around the earth has a large size can he hope to detect gravity?
If the size of the space station is large enough, then the astronaut will detect the change in Earth's gravity (g).
What is a large lump of rock orbiting around a planet?
A large lump of rock orbiting around a planet is called a moon or a natural satellite. Moons can vary in size and composition, and they may be rocky, icy, or even have atmospheres. They are held in orbit by the gravitational pull of the planet they surround. Notable examples include Earth's Moon and Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede.
Why is earth the planet?
A planet. It is a large, solid body orbiting its star - the Sun.
What other planets have there own planets?
As of now, the only planet known to have its own moon is Earth. Other planets in our solar system have moons but no planets of their own. In our solar system, moons primarily orbit around planets rather than planets orbiting around other planets.
The eight large objects that orbit the sun are called?
They are called planets. They are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. In addition there are many other objects orbiting the Sun.
What caused earth to begin to orbit sun initially?
The Earth, Sun, and entire solar system are believed to have coalesced out of a large cloud of matter known as a nebula. As the Sun was forming, the matter surrounding it began to rotate around the new center of gravity. Earth was formed from dust and rocks already orbiting the Sun, so technically the planet was orbiting before it even really existed.
Could you build a deathray by using a large mirror orbiting the earth?
no you can not and don't even try that could be very dangerous!
What is the large body of rock or gas that orbits the earth?
Our moon is made almost entirely of rock identical in composition to the rock of earth's mantle. There is no object made of gas orbiting earth.
What is the earth had only large continent is called?
The earth started as one large land mass and it was called Pangea
What is the current theory for the creation of the moon?
Back when the earth was young and relatively molten, a large object about half the size of the current moon, struck the earth and took a large section of the earth with it. The object combined with the pieces of earth that were broken off and began orbiting the earth. Hence, the moon.
Why do you not feel weightless if flying in a large airplane at a high altitute but if you were in an orbiting spacecraft you would constantly feel weightless?
In an airplane, you are still affected by Earth's gravity as the plane is flying against the pull of gravity, creating lift and keeping you pressed down towards the floor. In an orbiting spacecraft, you are in free fall around Earth, so you and the spacecraft are falling towards Earth at the same rate hence you experience weightlessness.
Every year or 365 days earth completes a movement around the sun what is that called how does it affect life on earth?
A completed rotation around the sun is called an orbit. It's not the orbit around the sun that matters, its earths own spin. It tilts a certain portion towards or away from the sun which creates seasons. Hot and cold.It is also believed that our galaxy and other galaxies are orbiting another large mass and perhaps even our universe and other universes (if there are any) are orbiting around another larger body and so on and so forth. Some even believe that our universe could be a single cell in an even bigger world.
