What else can I help you with?
Why we are not thrown off due to earth's revolution?
Gravity Einsteins theories of relativity say the mass of the earth bends space, and so although we ARE thrown off, we follow bent space back to Earth.
What force keeps the Earth in its orbit and stops it flying off into space?
The force that keeps the Earth in its orbit and prevents it from flying off into space is gravity. Gravity is generated by the mass of the Earth and pulls objects toward its center, creating the centripetal force that maintains the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
What would happen if the thrust of the rocket at take-off was not enough to put the rocket in orbit around the earth?
If the thrust of the rocket at take-off is not enough to put the rocket in orbit around the Earth, it will not be able to overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth and achieve the necessary velocity to stay in orbit. The rocket would likely fall back to Earth due to gravity.
What forces causes your moon to orbit the earth instead of flying off through space?
Our moon orbits the earth because it is held by gravity in an elliptical orbit.
If Earth was ''thrown'' into Saturn would the gas giant suck it up or would both planets be destroyed?
Probably Saturn will live, but is will be thrown out of its orbit. look at "Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9" you may find it interesting.
Do the earth exert a force on the moon?
Yes, force of gravity. That is why it orbits the earth rather than flying off in a straight line.
Why does the earth not fly off into space?
Because the suns orbit holds the earth and all of the other planets in place.
How does gravity influence the Earth's orbit around the sun?
Gravity is the force that keeps the Earth in orbit around the sun. The sun's gravity pulls the Earth towards it, causing the Earth to move in a curved path around the sun. This gravitational force is what keeps the Earth in its stable orbit and prevents it from flying off into space.
Does it take the earth 400 days to orbit the sun?
First off, the Earth orbits the sun. Second off, no. The time it takes the Earth to orbit the sun is a year. A day is the time it takes the Earth to rotate on its axis.
What is the definition of low earth orbit?
An earth orbit that is lower to earth then both a medium and high earth orbit.
What do you call a projectile that continually falls around Earth?
A projectile that continually falls around Earth is called a satellite. These objects are thrown into orbit around the planet and their speed is balanced by the force of gravity, allowing them to constantly fall towards Earth while also moving sideways fast enough to stay in orbit.
When will the moon fly off from the earth's orbit?
When gravity disappears, and pigs fly along with it.
