What would happen if the moons orbit were completely in the same plane as the earths orbit around the sun?
A lunar eclipse
How does gravity affect the movement of the moons?
Earths gravity keeps the moon from flying off in the same way the sun keeps earth in balance.
How they stay in orbit in space without crashing back to earth or flying off into space?
they are able to stay in orbit because of the earths gravitaional pull which keeps the shuttle in orbit so that it will not crash there is a theory that if the earths gravity changed the slightest bit everything we know would change
Does gravity have an effect on satellites in orbit?
Yes; gravity keeps them in orbit in the first place.Yes; gravity keeps them in orbit in the first place.Yes; gravity keeps them in orbit in the first place.Yes; gravity keeps them in orbit in the first place.
Is earths orbit around the sun unusual?
Earths orbit around the sun is not unusual.
What holds the earths in orbit?
Gravity.
Are satellites orbiting earths gravity?
No. They orbit Earth; and the reason they orbit is because of gravity.
Is held in its orbit by the Earths gravity?
the moon
Does earth stay in orbit by earths gravity?
yes
Is tis correct the force of gravity keeps Earth in its orbit or is it friction not gravity?
Friction has 100% nothing to do this the Earths orbit, its gravity and inertia.
What change would occur if earths rate of rotation significantly decreased?
the orbit
How does Earth has gravity?
the earths gravitational pull keeps the moon in orbit
After a shuttle is launched into orbit what happens to gravity?
There is no gravity in space but the shuttle stays in orbit because of the Earths gravity and inertia. The inertia keeps it going in a circular motion. In space the Earth's gravity is strong enough to hold something in orbit but not strong enough to pull it to Earth's surface.
What causes meteors to enter earths atmosphere?
Gravity. And the meteor is on a path that intersects the orbit of the Earth.
What would happen if the moons orbit were completely in the same plane as the earths orbit around the sun?
A lunar eclipse
What would happen if earths orbit changed?
The temperature would be different on Earth.
Does the Earths magnetism cause the Earth to orbit the sun?
No. Magnetism has nothing to do with it. It's strictly the result of gravity.
