What is the moon doing while earth is orbiting the sun?
while the earth is orbiting the sun the moon is orbiting the earth
What force keeps a moon from orbiting a planet?
The Moon is orbiting a planet; It is orbiting the Earth. The velocity /acceleration of the Moon and the gravitational pull between Earth and Moon are in balance, so the Moon remains orbiting the Earth. Similarly the Earth and Moon , as a binary system, orbit the Sun , and the acceleration and gravitational forces are in balance. So none of us collide.
When the Moon is farthest from the Earth this point is called .?
The moon is said to be at its Perigee when at its closest point to the Earth, Apogee when at its furthest point. Perigee and Apogee can also be used for other objects when orbiting about the Earth. If we talk about objects orbiting the sun (such as the planets) we use the term Perihelion and Aphelion (the helion part coming from the latin name of helios for the sun). If the perigee coincides with a full moon, we get a `supermoon`. The moon is at its largest circumference as it is at its closest, and is also full.
What force is responsible for the moon orbiting around the earth and earth orbiting around the sun?
The force of gravity causes the moon to orbit the Earth, and the Earth to orbit the sun.
What is the point in the moon is farthest from the earth?
The point in a body's orbit when it is farthest from its primary is apoapsis. For the specific case of a body orbiting Earth, you can also use the term apogee.
What is the moon doing while earth is orbiting the sun?
while the earth is orbiting the sun the moon is orbiting the earth
How may moons are orbiting the planet earth?
One moon is orbiting Earth and that is called The Moon.
True or false is the point at which the moon is orbiting closest to earth called perigee?
That is true.
What is in orbit with the Earth?
The moon. The earth is in orbit around the sun, but the moon goes with it, orbiting the earth directly and orbiting the sun indirectly.
Is there any moon on earth?
There is no moon on Earth, but there is one orbiting it; we call it the moon.
Is the moon on top of the sun?
No, it is orbiting our Earth, which is orbiting our Sun.
What force keeps a moon from orbiting a planet?
The Moon is orbiting a planet; It is orbiting the Earth. The velocity /acceleration of the Moon and the gravitational pull between Earth and Moon are in balance, so the Moon remains orbiting the Earth. Similarly the Earth and Moon , as a binary system, orbit the Sun , and the acceleration and gravitational forces are in balance. So none of us collide.
What force is responsible for the moon orbiting earth and earth orbiting the sun?
The force of gravity.
What is Name of the largest satellite orbiting earth?
The largest satellite orbiting the Earth is the Moon.

Where have human been in the solar system outside of earth?
-- orbiting the Earth -- coasting on a trajectory between the Earth and the Moon -- orbiting the Moon -- the surface of the Moon That's IT ... the complete list.
How many moons are in the earth?
There is no moon IN the Earth. There is one moon ORBITING AROUND Earth.
