What else can I help you with?
What keeps Earth orbiting?
The fundamental laws of physics. In particular, Newton's Laws of Motion.
How does gravity keeps the moon in the orbit?
The moon is falling, but since the Earth's gravitational pull is constantly acting on it, the moon keeps falling but it is moving towards the Earth so it move in an egg shaped motion.
What force causes Earth's centripetal motion?
The force that causes Earth's centripetal motion is gravity. Gravity pulls Earth towards the Sun, causing it to orbit in a circular path around the Sun. This centripetal force keeps Earth moving in a curved path rather than in a straight line.
Inertia is the force that keeps earth traveling around the sun?
Yes, but the Gravitational pull is also at play.
How does the suns gravitational attraction impact earths motion?
Without gravity the Earth would go off into outer space where it's cold and dark and the temperature on Earth would probably fall to about -250 degrees C. The Sun's gravity keeps us in a nice nearly-circular orbit so that we can have a good time.
What is the name of the force that keeps an object in motion stay in motion?
The force that keeps an object in motion stay in motion is called inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity.
What keeps electrons in motion?
The nucleus
Is earth's motion is a circular motion?
No, the earth's motion is a periodic motion forming an ellipse.
How does gravity keep the moon in orbit earth?
The moon is falling, but since the Earth's gravitational pull is constantly acting on it, the moon keeps falling but it is moving towards the Earth so it move in an egg shaped motion.
What is the reason for moon's circular motion around the earth?
Earth exerts a pull on the moon, which keeps it orbiting the Earth. Since the Earth is so big compared to the moon, it pulls the moon toward it. In a sense, the moon is falling towards the Earth, but since the moon is also moving forwards, it ends up going around and around the Earth.
What force from the sun pulls on the earth and keeps it in orbit?
The force that pulls on the Earth and keeps it in orbit around the sun is gravity. Gravity is the attractive force between two objects with mass, and it is the dominant force that governs the motion of celestial bodies in the solar system.
Why earth is in motion and what external force is acting upon it?
If something is moving, no force is required for that something to continue moving. That doesn't mean there are no forces acting on Earth; for example, the Sun attracts Earth towards it. But that's not what keeps the Earth moving.
