The Earth's gravitational force keeps it from moving away into outer space. (* Gravity is a mutual force of attraction between matter, so the Earth pulls on the Moon while the Moon pulls on the Earth.)
What is a person who studies outer space?
Astronomers study astronomy, which is outer space, otherwise some astronauts study outer space when they travel to the moon.
Why did Apollo 13 go into outer space?

What force keeps the moon from flying away from the earth?
Gravity keeps the moon in a steady orbit around the Earth. We might not seem to be moving very fast but we are moving quite fast. Fill a bucket half way full with water, hold on to the handle and spin around, notice that the water doesn't go flying out. That your movement in a circle keeping the water in place. Same with the moon. We are moving fast in a circle around the sun, our gravity is balenced so that we keep the moon from flying away from the Earth and into space.
What keeps moon from shooting out into space?
Earth's gravitational pull
What force keeps the moons from floating away from the planets?
what keeps the moon from flying off into outer space
What prevents a planets moon from flying into space?
The gravity of the sun an each moon's respective planet keeps them from flying into space.
Evidence that earths gravity reaches the moon?
The fact that the Moon orbits the Earth and doesn't go flying off into outer space.
How is orbit and gravity related?
When it an object in space in moving it will keep moving at the same speed with the property of inertia. Then moon is an object that has inertia. Gravity keeps the moon from going off into outer space but inertia keeps the moon from crashing into the moon. Gravity and inertia have to be balanced in order for an object to remain in orbit.
Is the moon located in outer space?
That depends on what you mean by "outer space". The moon is outside the Earth's atmosphere and therfore "in space" but it is orbiting the Earth and therfore hardly "outer".

What in outer space is closest to earth?
