What force causes the moon to stay in orbit around the earth?
Earth's gravitational pull. See attached link for more information.
Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?
The moon orbits Earth.
How does the moon stay in orbit around the Earth?
The moon stays in orbit around the Earth due to the gravitational pull between the two bodies. This gravitational force keeps the moon moving in a curved path around the Earth, balancing the pull of gravity with the moon's inertia to maintain its orbit.
How does the moon stay close to earth?
The moon stays close to Earth due to gravity. The gravitational force between Earth and the moon keeps them in orbit around each other. This balance of gravitational forces prevents the moon from drifting away from Earth.
Gravity provides a centripetal force on the Moon helping it stay in orbit around Earth?
Correct! The force of gravity between the Earth and the Moon acts as a centripetal force, keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. This balance between gravity and the Moon's inertia allows it to continuously move in a circular path around the Earth.
What is it called when the moon moves around the earth?
This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
Why does gravity hold moon with the earth?
Since the earth is larger than the moon it generates a more powerful magnetic field which pulls the moon towards the earth and causes it to orbit as the earth rotates on its axis, and the reason it stays in orbit is because the moon is moving fast enough to stay in orbit rather than be pulled into the earth yet it's not moving so fast that it will leave earths orbit.
Why does moon stay in orbit around earth?
The moon stays in orbit around Earth due to the gravitational force between the two bodies. This force keeps the moon moving in a curved path around Earth, preventing it from flying off into space. The balance between the moon's forward motion and Earth's gravitational pull maintains its stable orbit.
When does the moon orbit earth?
The moon is in constant orbit around the earth, all the time.
Do any moons orbit earth?
Yes. One moon orbit Earth (The moon)
Does the moon take to orbit the Earth?
the moon takes 27.32 days to orbit the earth
Days of the orbit of the moon to orbit the earth?
there are roughly 12.5 looner orbits to 1 orbit of the earth The moon takes 27.32 days to orbit the Earth.
