Which of the following forces exerted by the earth on the moon keeps the moon in orbit?
The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth is gravity. Specifically, the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon is what keeps the moon in its elliptical 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.
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.
What keeps the moon moving?
The moon keeps moving in its orbit around the Earth due to its inertia and the gravitational pull of the Earth. There is a balance between the moon's velocity and the gravitational force that keeps it in a stable orbit.
What is the influence that keeps the Earth and the Moon in their respective orbits?
The influence that keeps the Earth and the Moon in their respective orbits is gravity. Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects with mass, such as the Earth and the Moon, that keeps them moving in their paths around each other.
What keeps the moon its orbit?
The attraction of gravity between the Earth and the Moon.
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.
What does the moon have to do with the earth?
it keeps the earth from being LIGHT all the time
What keeps the moon from shooting out into space?
The gravitational pull of the earth. Gravity from the Earth pulls the moon towards it.
What is the moon near?
The Earth.
Why does the moon not fall down?
The moon orbits the earth, it could be said that it is falling down, but it keeps missing the earth. (Over simplified).
What is the force that keeps the earth and the moon in their orbits?
Gravity.
