What else can I help you with?
The gravitational force from what star keeps the earth in orbit?
The Sun.
What keeps the earth in orbit with the sun?
Gravity and Inertia keeps the earth in orbit
What keeps earth in its orbit?
The sun's gravitational pull keeps the earth in orbit around it.
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 earth in orbit?
the sun
What keeps the earth on its orbit?
gravity
What keeps it in orbit around earth?
earth's gravity
How inertia and gravity combine to keep earth in orbit?
gravity and inertia combine to keep earth in orbit because the suns gravity keeps the earth in orbit and the inertia keeps the earth from going in a straight line.
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 force keeps the earth in its orbit?
its called gravity
What force keeps earth in orbit?
The gravitational force.
What causes planets to orbit?
Planets are kept in their orbit by the suns gravity, yet their momentum keeps them from falling into the sun. (Thank goodness!) Planets orbit in the direction their star rotates, so in our solar system, all planets orbit in the direction of the star.
