gravity attracts the moon to the earth, us to the earth, the sun to the earth, the earth to the sun, and every piece of mater to every other piece of matter.

What force stops the planets moving away from the sun?
Gravity
What force keeps the earth in its orbit and stops it from flying off into space?
gravity pulls the earth into position so it doesn't move away and gravity is what holds us down onto the earth as well.
Why do objects fall to the ground and do not just float into the air?
Objects fall because of gravity a force that keeps us on earth and stops us from floating away.
What keeps the Moon from floating away?
The Earth's gravitational force keeps it from moving away into outer space. (* Gravity is a mutual force of attraction between matter, so the Earth pulls on the Moon while the Moon pulls on the Earth.)
Does weight - force of gravity - decrease or increase as you move away from the earth by distance squared?
It decreases as you move away from Earth.
If a car stops at a roundabout with no traffic coming pulls away then just stops again and you back end it whose to blame?
if you have hit something in front of you, that would be your broblem
How much force required to go out of earth gravity?
Any force greater than the weight of the object you're lifting will eventually take it as far away from Earth as you want it to be. But the force of attraction between the Earth and the object is never zero, no matter how far away it goes.
Should the earth always had a greenhouse effect?
The earth has always had the greenhouse effect. It is what stops us from freezing so far away from the sun.
Why does the core collapse once fusion stops?
The energy released by fusion in the core of a star produces an outward pressured force that counteracts gravity. When fusion stops, that force goes away and gravity takes hold, causing the core to collapse.
Over millions of years the moon is moving further away from the earth what will happen to the gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth as the moon gets further away?
As the moon gets further and further away, the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon decreases. Because the Moon is not being attracted but being pushed away from the Earth. If the gravitational force would have increased, the moon would come closer and closer to the Earth.
How is the force of earth's gravity overcome when an object is launched into space?
The object launched into space has rocket motors with more force taking it away from Earth than Earth's force of gravity has in pulling the object toward its center.
Why don't we float away from Earth?
Swept off... by whom or by what exactly? - There is a force that pulls us towards the center of the Earth. It is called the force of gravity, and it pulls all objects close to Earth's surface with a force of about 9.8 N/kg. This force field is somehow caused by Earth's mass.
