Why does the moon stay in its orbit and does not fly into space?
Same reason we don't fly into space. Gravity. There is no repulsive force trying to push the moon away. The only two forces involved (mostly) are the moon's forward velocity, and the Earth's gravitational pull. enertia is actually pulling the moon about a foot a year away from us
Why is landing on the moon different from landing on the earth?
The Moon is not the Earth. There is no atmosphere on the Moon. There is much less gravity on the Moon. You fly different vehicles on the Moon nd on the Earth.
Is it quicker to fly to the moon than it is to the sun?
The moon is much close to the Earth and therefore is shorter to fly to.
Why does the moon not fly off into space?
The moon is held in an orbit around the Earth due to the Earth's gravitational pull on the moon.
Why doesn't the moon fly into space?
Because even though the moon is actually slowly being pushed out into space, as it moves further away this slows the Earth's rotation and eventually it will pull the moon back in due to less friction by the moon on tides, as the planet speeds up again the moon will be pushed back out meaning it doesn't fly off into space because if it goes to far the Earth just pulls it back again.
How does Newton's law of the universe gravitational apply to earth and the moon?
If it were not for the Earth's pull of gravity the moon would fly away from the Earth. The moon's pull of gravity on the Earth causes the tides.
More info about the earth and the moon?
Scientists are not sure how the moon was formed. The Theory I believe is that the moon was a piece of debris from an impact that fused together and got caught in Earth's Gravitational pull. The moon is slowly drifting away from the Earth and will one day fly away into space.
How does Newton law universal gravitation apply to Earth and the moon?
it applies to the earth and moon because their two objects in the universe that attract each other.

Does the astronauts fly on moon due to earth gravity?
No
When will the moon fly off from the earth's orbit?
When gravity disappears, and pigs fly along with it.

Does the Moon fly into space?
hahahaa.....no it doesnt...if it would have...it would have flown away YEARS AGO....leaving back a dull night... on a serious note,the moon doesnt "fly" off into space because of gravity(the famous newton-apple thingy)...this gravitational pull binds the moon(planets and the whole solar system) into fixed orbits without which it would look like a terrible lot of crashing and "big bangs" among the planets, sun & the moons!
