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 does gravity have to do with the sun and the moon?
Gravity is what keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth and also what keeps the Earth-Moon system in orbit around the Sun. It is also the force that tries to contract the Sun leading to the immense pressures in its core which is required for nuclear fusion.
Why does the moon orbit the Earth instead of the Sun?
The moon orbits the Earth instead of the Sun because of the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon. This gravitational force keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth, rather than being pulled towards the Sun.
why was gravity made or like thought of?
it holds the planets that orbit around the sun and what keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth
What keeps the earth in orbit around the sun and moon in orbit around earth?
The force of gravity and the inertia of the Earth (as it orbits the Sun). Also, gravity combined with the inertia of the Moon (as it orbits the Earth).
What keeps the moon in orbit around earth and earth in orbit around the sun?
The force of gravity and the inertia of the Earth (as it orbits the Sun). Also, gravity combined with the inertia of the Moon (as it orbits the Earth).
How is the moon kept in orbit?
The earth by its gravitational pull keeps the moon in its orbit. The earths gravitational pull and the Moon's inertia creates a force called the centripetal force which keeps the Moon in orbit.
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 force keeps the moon in orbit around the sun?
The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the sun is the gravitational force between the sun and the moon. This force causes the moon to continuously fall towards the sun but its orbital motion prevents it from colliding with the sun.
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.
What keeps the earth in orbit with the sun?
Gravity and Inertia keeps the earth in orbit
How many day does the moon orbit the sun?
The Moon does not orbit the Sun. It orbits the Earth.
