Earth's pull makes the moon revolve around it.Does the moon also pull the earth?

Sure, according to Newton's Third Law, the Moon must also attract the Earth. Actually, saying that the Moon revolves around the Earth is only an approximation. it is more accurate to state that Earth and Moon revolve around the common center of mass.Sure, according to Newton's Third Law, the Moon must also attract the Earth.

What the motion of a person who is standing still on earth surface?

A person who is standing still on the Earth's surface is in a state of relative rest with respect to the surface of the Earth. However, they are actually moving along with the Earth as it rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun. So, in a broader sense, they are always in motion.


Who was the first person to theorize that the earth revolves around the sun?

Why the diameter of the earth is less at the poles and more at the equator?

This phenomena has taken place due to revolution of the earth. The earth was in gaseous state. Then it cooled to liquid state. When the liquid ball revolves, it takes the ellipsoid shape. This happens due to centrifugal force acting on the ball. The ball shrinks along the axis of revolution.


Would a quasars 500 miles in diameter and revolve around the sun?

Quasars are believed to be gigantic black holes - millions of times the mass of our Sun. If we were anywhere near a quasar, it would be more accurate to state that the Sun (or the Solar System) revolves around the quasar, not the other way round.Quasars are believed to be gigantic black holes - millions of times the mass of our Sun.

How does the sun travel around the earth?

The SUN does NOT travel around the Earth. The Earth (aand all the other solar system planets), travel around the Sun(Orbit). Because the Sun appears to travel across the sky, the ancients thought that the Sun travelled around the Earth. NOT SO!!!! It is the Earth's rotation, on a daily basis, that makes the Sun appear to travel around the This is the 'HELIOCENTRIC' system first discovered by 'Coperincus', and was a controverisal problem for a number of centuries. Today we recognise the heliocentric system as the true state of astronomic movement.


What did The heliocentric model of the universe state?

It works by using the observations of the sun and other bodies orbiting the Earth, but along with the similar theory that the Earth rotates and revolves as well. This theory would thereby mean that the observations were not directly as seen (everything orbiting earth), but simply a perspective from the earth of all of the bodies orbiting around, in this case, the Sun. Heliocentricism was largely the theory of Copernicus, who was the major player to lead to further theories afterwards by other notable astronomers.


In what state or town was the first Earth Day held?

Why does the moon move when you move?

Because according to Newton, a body will continue in its motion, or its state of rest unless it is acted upon by another force. The moon's rotation is locked to face the earth, possibly because that side of the moon is more massive? Until some other force acts, that is how it is. The moon exerts its effect upon the earths tides, both the oceans and the atmosphere, and the earth exerts its tides on the moon.
