What provides the centripetal force needed to keep Earth in orbit?

The gravitational force between Earth and the Sun provides the centripetal force needed to keep Earth in orbit. This force keeps Earth moving in a circular path around the Sun.

How do you Determine the mass of the earth from the known period and distance of the moon?

One way to determine the mass of the Earth is to use Newton's law of gravitation and the known period and distance of the Moon. By knowing the orbital period of the Moon around the Earth and its distance from Earth, one can calculate the gravitational force between Earth and the Moon. By equating this gravitational force to the centripetal force needed to keep the Moon in its orbit, one can solve for the mass of the Earth.

What would happen if Earth orbited the sun at the speed of light?

The centripetal force holding the earth on its axis will be so great that the gravity keeping the earth and the sun at the same distance will not be enough to keep the Earth close to the sun. We would essentially fly off into the nothingness of space and die.


Which force makes the earth keep going round the sun?

How does gravity work to keep objects on Earth's surface?

Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth. This force keeps objects on the Earth's surface by attracting them towards the ground.

A satellite that is near the Earth is pulled into orbit by its gravity. The satellite is affected by Earth's gravity because of?

The satellite is affected by Earth's gravity due to the gravitational force exerted by the Earth, which acts on all objects with mass. This force pulls the satellite toward the Earth, creating a balance between gravitational pull and its forward momentum, resulting in an orbit. The strength of the gravitational force decreases with distance, but at the relatively close range of low Earth orbit, it remains significant enough to keep the satellite in a stable path around the planet.
