the answer is........ gravity
How do you use the word magnetic force in a sentence?
The magnetic force of the Earth's gravity holds the Moon in it's orbit.
What force holds the earth in its orbit round the sun?
That's the mutual gravitational attraction between the sun and the earth.
What holds earth in it's path as it revolves around the sun?
The mutual attractive force of gravity keeps the Earth in its orbit around the Sun.
What holds the earths orbit around the earth?
WHAT HOLDS THE EARTH IN ITS ORBIT REVOLVING AROUND THE SUN?In fact the Earth's orbit is a sort of equilibrium. The Earth's revolutions around the Sun provides it with centripetal force. A force that wants to eject it out of its orbit. That same force that wants to eject you out of your car when you are in a tight bend.However (and fortunately) there exist a strong gravitational force (attracting force) between the Sun and the Earth. It happens that the centripetal force ejecting the Earth is equal and hence balances the gravitational force pulling it towards the earth. As a result the Earth continues its motion around the Sun, undisturbed.As a conclusion, I'll say that what holds the Earth around the Sun it a result of 2 forces acting opposite to each other, namely the centripetal force pulling it away from the Sun and the gravitational force pulling it towards the Sun.
What is the gravitational force that holds the moon in orbit around the earth?
1.98 x 10 ^ 20 N
What force orbits around the earth?
No force orbits around the Earth. Forces do not orbit. The force that keeps material objects in orbit around the Earth is the mutual force of gravity between the Earth and the object.
What force keeps earth in orbit?
The gravitational force.
What holds Earth and the the other planets in their orbit?
Gravity
What force is responsible for the moon orbiting around the earth and earth orbiting around the sun?
The force of gravity causes the moon to orbit the Earth, and the Earth to orbit the sun.
What is the name of the force that makes the earth orbit the sun that starts with C?
The name of the force that makes the earth orbit the sun doesn't start with ' C '. The force that does it is the force of gravity.
