What two forces keep the moon and all other satellites in orbit around earth?

Gravity and inertia are the two forces that keep the moon and other satellites in orbit around Earth. Gravity pulls the moon towards Earth, while the moon's inertia keeps it moving forward in a curved path, resulting in a stable orbit.


Why doesn't gravity pull the artificial satellites to Earth?

Gravity pulls the satellites but the orbiting satellites don't fall down towards earth because the speed with which they move balances the gravitational force i.e. Centripetal force = Gravitational force.


What force from the sun pulls on the earth and keeps it in orbit?

The force that pulls on the Earth and keeps it in orbit around the sun is gravity. Gravity is the attractive force between two objects with mass, and it is the dominant force that governs the motion of celestial bodies in the solar system.


Are astronauts really 'weightless while in orbit why or why not?

The way we measure someone's weight with a scale, requires forces to compress/extend springs, etc.... On Earth, gravity pulls downward, the scale is stopped by the floor. When you step on the scale, you are applying the force of gravity on the scale, which measures the amount of stretch. In orbit, there is no resulting force for the scale to measure. The space ship is falling at the same speed as the astronaut and the scale. They can stand on the scale but it will ready ZERO. The astronauts have mass, its just that for a scale to work, you need a force which is being minimized by falling around the Earth (orbit)


What is the invisible force that pulls everything towards the planets center?

Gravity is the invisible force that pulls everything towards the planet's center. It is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around the sun and objects on the Earth's surface.

How does gravity affect electricity?

Gravity does not directly affect electricity. Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards each other, while electricity is the flow of charged particles. However, gravity can indirectly impact electricity by affecting the movement of objects that generate or use electricity, such as satellites in orbit.


How does gravity help the planets orbit?

The Sun pulls the planets around it


Why does earth orbit around the sun in its path?

The Sun's gravity pulls on: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Gravity is a force that pulls the planets or a force to push. Gravity is on the Earth, gravity is floated in space. So the Sun's gravity keeps the planets to orbit the Sun.


What cause planets to orbit the sun?

i know only one and it's a good one, the sun's gravity pulls the planets from flying some where else EDIT: Gravity pulls objects together and angular momentum makes sure planets orbit
