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.
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.
Why does earth and the moon are kept in their respective orbits?
Their relative motion keeps them from crashing into one another while their mutual gravitational attraction keeps them from flying apart. Having said that, the moon is slowly drifting away so it is wrong to say that the two are kept in their respective orbits.
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 near earth?
gravity
Why does the moon not come crashing into the earth?
The moon remains in orbit around the Earth due to the gravitational pull between the two bodies. This gravitational force causes the moon to continuously move in a curved path around the Earth, resulting in a stable orbit.
What keeps the moon its orbit?
The attraction of gravity between the Earth and the Moon.
What keeps the earth sun and moon stay in their orbital paths?
Gravity on the sun is so strong it holds the eight planets, the Earth's gravity is only strong enough to hold the moon in place and stop its self from being sucked into the sun, The moon's gravity only stops its self from crashing into the earth but is not strong enough to not cause large waves sometimes. At least that's what they said in science class.
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.
