What else can I help you with?
What would happen if earths orbit changed?
The temperature would be different on Earth.
If all the people on the Earth jumped at the same time would the earth be thown out of its orbit?
No, the earths orbit is so great that the moon would would half to go at 100,000 mps to alter the orbit of the earth.
What would be the effect on satellites now in orbit if earth were to not be rotating on its axis?
The earths rotation about its axis has no affect on the orbit of satellites about earth. Only their relative velocities and positions are relevant, not their orientation
What would happen if the space station stop moving sideways?
If the space station were to stop moving sideways, it would continue to orbit Earth due to the pull of gravity. However, without the horizontal velocity, it would fall back towards Earth rather than staying in a stable orbit. This would pose a significant danger to the crew and the station itself.
Is it possible that another planet we haven't found is following earths orbit?
Not a planet of any significant size, which would be easy to see, but it is possible that some pieces of rock are in a similar orbit to the Earth at the five Lagrangian Points of the Earth's orbit.
How they stay in orbit in space without crashing back to earth or flying off into space?
they are able to stay in orbit because of the earths gravitaional pull which keeps the shuttle in orbit so that it will not crash there is a theory that if the earths gravity changed the slightest bit everything we know would change
Is the direction of the earths orbit?
Which orbit would that be? The galactic orbit, the solar orbit, the local cluster orbit? From what viewpoint? Above or below the galactic plane, the planetary system plane, from the point of view of a different place in the local cluster than on earth itself?
What would happen if the Moon's orbit were completely in the same place as the Earths orbit around the Sun?
Your question isn't very clear. The moon revolves around the earth so it essentially has the same orbit around the sun.
Would the moon top moving if earths gravity did not pull on it?
If the Earth's gravity were to stop pulling on the moon, the moon would continue to move. It would, however, fling off away from the Earth rather than continuing in its orbit.
Do inertia pull the moon towards the earth?
No, inertia is trying to keep the moon moving in a straight line, which would be away from Earth. Gravity is pulling the moon towards Earth. The result when these two forces are combined is the moon maintaining a constant orbit of Earth.
What would happen if the moons orbit were completely in the same plane as the earths orbit around the sun?
If the Moon's orbit were in the same plane as Earth's orbit around the Sun, we would experience a solar eclipse every month during the new moon phase as the Moon would pass directly between the Sun and Earth. This alignment would likely have a significant impact on Earth's tides and possibly cause more extreme weather patterns due to the gravitational influence of the Moon.
Explain why a space shuttle will stay in in orbit around the earth and will not fall to the earth?
The space shuttle is traveling at a speed such that its fall to earth matches the curvature of the earth. As a result, it is "falling" to the earth at the same rate that the earth's surface is rotating away, so it stays in orbit.
