What else can I help you with?
what forces act upon the moon as it is orbiting earth?
Gravity hold the moon in orbit
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.
How is the moon affected by the earth?
The moon is affected by the Earth primarily through gravitational forces. This interaction leads to phenomena such as the moon orbiting the Earth, causing tidal effects on Earth's oceans, and influencing the moon's rotation to always keep one face toward Earth.
What force keeps a moon from orbiting a planet?
The Moon is orbiting a planet; It is orbiting the Earth. The velocity /acceleration of the Moon and the gravitational pull between Earth and Moon are in balance, so the Moon remains orbiting the Earth. Similarly the Earth and Moon , as a binary system, orbit the Sun , and the acceleration and gravitational forces are in balance. So none of us collide.
What is the moon doing while earth is orbiting the sun?
while the earth is orbiting the sun the moon is orbiting the earth
How may moons are orbiting the planet earth?
One moon is orbiting Earth and that is called The Moon.
Is the moon on top of the sun?
No, it is orbiting our Earth, which is orbiting our Sun.
ARE there moon orbiting your moon?
No, there are no known moons orbiting our Moon. The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. While some artificial satellites have been placed in orbit around the Moon by various space agencies, there are no natural moons orbiting our Moon.
What do you call a moon orbiting a moon?
a satellite of a satellite
Do Mercury and Venus have a moon?
No, neither of them have an orbiting moon.
What does the gravitational pull of the earth keep around it?
The moon, satellites, international space station, and everything else orbiting the earth.
What takes longer to orbit the Sun the Moon or the Earth?
Technically, the moon isn't orbiting the sun. The moon is orbiting the Earth that is orbiting the sun. I guess someone should have paid more attention in elementary school!!!
