What distances from earth equate to multiples of geosynchronous orbit?
It appears that geosynchronous orbit (orbit that appears stationary from earth's surface) is more or less equal to the circumference of the earth (around 27,000 miles). The moon which orbits the earth reaches the same point every 29 or so days. So it would appear that the moon is around 29 times the distance for geosynchronous orbit or about 783,000 miles.
Why does the earth revolve and the moon doesn't?
Moon also revolve. Earth revolve round the sun and moon revolve round the earth.
Why can the moon not escape from the earth?
The earth is six times more massive than the moon. That keeps the moon in orbit around it, just as the mass of the sun keeps the earth in orbit around it.
Moon is the closest neighbor of the earth?
Yes. The moon is the only natural body close enough to Earth to orbit it.
What controls the tides?
The Moon's gravitational pull, as it goes around the Earth, makes the waters of the seas follow its motion. Also, on the opposite side of the Earth from the Moon, the seas have the least gravitational pull and seem to be pushed away from the moon. Because of these two gravitational effects, there are two high tides for each orbit of the Moon around the Earth. As the Moon orbits the Earth almost every twenty-four hours, there are two tides every day.
Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?
The moon orbits Earth.
What causes the moon to orbit around the sun?
the moon doesent orbit the sun, the earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits the earth.
What is the plural of orbit?
The plural of orbit is orbits. As in "the moon orbits the Earth".
Can the moon orbit around the sun?
No, the moon orbits around the Earth, not the sun. This is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon. The moon's orbit around the Earth is what causes its phases and affects tides on Earth.
How fast does Saturn orbit the earth?
Saturn does not orbit the Earth; it orbits the Sun. The Moon orbits the Earth.
How does the moon orbit around the earth?
It doesn't. The moon orbits the earth, and the earth orbits the sun, and the sun orbits the center of the galaxy. And the galaxy doesn't orbit anything.
How does the Moon's orbit around the earth?
It doesn't. The moon orbits the earth, and the earth orbits the sun, and the sun orbits the center of the galaxy. And the galaxy doesn't orbit anything.
How is the earth and moon orbit different?
The Earth orbits around the Sun, while the moon orbits around the Earth.
Dose the moon and the earth orbit around the sun?
The Moon orbits the Earth, the Earth orbits the Sun
What object does the moon orbit?
The Moon orbits the Earth.
Do the stars orbit the moon?
The Moon orbits the Earth.
Why doesn't the moon orbit around the sun like the earth does?
The moon does orbit the sun. The moon orbits round the earth, while both earth and the moon orbits round the sun.
