Instead of imagining the Earth going forward in one specific direction towards the Sun, imagine it going sideways. Gravity keeps the Earth around the Sun. The Earth maintained in orbit around the Sun fast enough to avoid being pulled in and slow enough to avoid drifting out of the Sun's orbit.
What else can I help you with?
Would Earth's gravity ever affect Pluto?
No, Earth's gravity would not affect Pluto. However, the suns gravity does.
What is the Suns gravity in relation to Earths gravity?
The Sun's gravity, at its surface, is about 28 times Earth's surface gravity.
How does the effect of the suns gravity on Pluto compare to the effect of the suns gravity on earth?
well pluto is so far away that the sun rays can't reach out that far for it to be warmer and for earth,the earth is much closer and could get most of the suns hot rays
Is the force of the suns gravity on the moon the same as the suns gravity on earth?
Not particularly. The Earth's rotation around the Solar System is controlled by the Sun but the Moon is mostly controlled by the Earth, so the Sun really has more of an influence on the Earth than the Moon.
Why does the earth move around?
the earth moves around because of the suns gravity. Its not rocket science.
How inertia and gravity combine to keep earth in orbit?
gravity and inertia combine to keep earth in orbit because the suns gravity keeps the earth in orbit and the inertia keeps the earth from going in a straight line.
Why causes the earth moon system to revolve around the earth?
The suns gravity. think u people! -_- people.
Why is the suns gravity so large?
The Sun's gravity is large because the Sun has a lot of mass (about 333,000 times the mass of Earth). Masses cause gravity.
Why doesnt the suns gravitational force affect you more than the earths gravitational force does?
Mainly because we are in "free fall" around the Sun. In such situations, gravity won't be noticed. Also, Earth's gravitational force is much stronger, anyway, because Earth is much closer.
What are two reasons earth's gravity has a strong effect on us?
Earth's gravity has a strong effect on us because it keeps us anchored to the ground, preventing us from floating off into space. Gravity also affects our body's balance, coordination, and bone density, playing a crucial role in our daily activities.
Why does earth spin around the sun?
Because of the suns mass or weight. The more weight something has the more gravity it has. We rotate around the sun because the suns gravity pulls us towards it. No, we won't ever crash into the sun.
What is the force that holds the gases of the atmosphere around Earth?
The sun is being hold by gravity, in the sun there are like magnets which creates our solar system, the suns extreme gravity is what holds everything but the magnet fields is what makes us move around the sun but the core of the earth is what makes us rotate. The suns extreme Gravity is what basically holds its gasses.
