What would happpen to a space vehicle in orbit around Earth if it sped up?

If its speed was greater than the pull of gravity - it would simply leave orbit and drift off into space.


How you are staying on earth as earth is round?

Gravity.The gravity of the earth is always pulling everything towards it. Nothing can fall off the earth because everything wants to fall towards the center of the planet.Even the moon is being pulled towards the earth. That's the only thing that keeps it from drifting off into space.


What would happen if there was no gravity ?

If gravity suddenly went away, we would fall off and float in space <DEADDD!!!> ....................................................... If there had never been such a thing as gravity, there would be no planets or stars to create life to fall off of them. They were formed and placed due to gravity.


If you die in space and no one takes you back to earth what happens to your body?

There may be 2 things that happen: 1.You may get in orbit around a planet and burn up in the atmosphere. 2. You may drift off into outer space.


Do parts fall off the space ship when they take off?

yes


Why is your earth is round and the people living in these planet cannot fall?

The planet is round because in space matter is puled together in a sphere. And gravity is why we don't fall off, (also the atmospheric pressure).


Can you fall off the edge off the world?

No, you cannot fall off the edge of the world. The Earth is a sphere, so there is no physical edge to fall off.


Does the sun's gravity keep Earth from flying off into space?

Yes, the sun's gravity is the primary force that keeps Earth in orbit around it. The gravitational pull of the sun balances with Earth's inertia, which would otherwise cause it to move in a straight line into space. This delicate balance creates a stable orbit, allowing Earth to maintain its position within the solar system. Without the sun's gravity, Earth would indeed drift away into space.


What do you think would happen to the moon if no force was exerted on it by earth?

Then we would not see the light of the Moon, either - the light we see from the Moon is light it reflects from the Sun.Additionally the moon, together with our Earth would drift through the universe, not bound anymore be the sun's gravity field.


What would most likely happen if there were absolutely no gravitational force acting on the moon?

If there were absolutely no gravitational force acting on the moon, it would no longer be held in orbit around the Earth and would drift off into space.


Why do rocks fall from the sky?

Rocks don't fall from the sky naturally. However, meteorites, which are rocks from space, can fall to Earth due to gravitational forces. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and survives the heat of entry, it is called a meteorite.


Why does a satellite not fly off into space from the earth's atmosphere?

A satellite stays in orbit due to a balance between its forward motion and the gravitational pull of the Earth. The velocity of the satellite allows it to continuously fall towards the Earth but also keeps missing it, causing it to remain in orbit. If there were no gravitational pull, the satellite would fly off into space.
