What keeps the moon in its orbit around the moon?
The balance between the inertia of the Moon and the gravitational pull keeps the moon in orbit with Earth.
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.
What keeps the moon moving?
Inertia
What keeps the moon its orbit?
The attraction of gravity between the Earth and the Moon.
How is the moon affected by the earth?
The Earth's gravity keeps the moon in orbit.
Why can the moon not escape from the earth?
The earth is six times more massive than the moon. That keeps the moon in orbit around it, just as the mass of the sun keeps the earth in orbit around it.
How does gravity impact the moon?
it keeps it in orbet
What keeps the moon near earth?
gravity
What keeps the moon close to earth?
The same thing that keeps you from floating out into space. Gravity.
Which of the following forces exerted by the earth on the moon keeps the moon in orbit?
The Earth's gravitation.
What keeps the moon ins orbit around earth?
That's the mutual force of gravitation (gravity) between the Earth and the Moon. This, combined with the Moon's velocity (its inertia), results in the orbital path that the Moon follows.
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.
