What is a scientific theory about how objects move in space?

The reason object move around space is inertia. Take the moon and Earth for example, gravity makes the moon stay close to the Earth, and inertia makes the moon circle (or revolve, or orbit) around the Earth in a circular motion. the path it takes is called its orbit.


Were else is gravity but earth?

Gravity is present throughout the universe, affecting all objects that have mass. It is a force that exists between all objects with mass, so gravity is not limited to Earth but can be found everywhere in space. Gravity keeps planets in orbit around stars, holds galaxies together, and influences the motion of all objects with mass.


Does the Moon travel clockwise around the Earth?

That would depend on from where you are observing:No, it travels counter-clockwise (as viewed from above what we call the North Pole).From space 'below' the South Pole looking towards the Earth-Moon system it would appear that yes, the Moon travels in a clockwise direction.You must always define your frame of reference when speaking about motion of objects in space!


What do small objects in space have in common?

Small objects that we can detect in space are all in the solar system and they all orbit the Sun and obey Kepler's laws of planetary motion, as do all the planets, asteroids etc.


Why do people not fly off the surface of the rotating earth into space?

Because the gravitational force between the earth and each person is sufficient centripetal force to maintain circular motion with a radius equal to the Earth's equatorial radius and angular velocity of (pi/12) radians per hour.

yes he was because he had the theory of relativity how matter time motion and space all relate


Do Circular motion occurs only on earth?

No, circular motion can occur in both natural and artificial systems, not just on Earth. Objects like planets orbiting around the sun and satellites orbiting the Earth are examples of circular motion occurring in space.


How do animals relate to earth science?

Earth science and physics are both the study of something. Earth science is the study of earth and its neighbors in space. Physics is the study of physical objects.


What is A force attracts objects towards he center of the earth?

Gravity is the force that attracts objects towards the center of the Earth. It is a fundamental force that keeps things grounded and governs the motion of celestial bodies in space.


Is earth a stationary frame of reference?

No, the Earth is not a stationary frame of reference. It rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun, resulting in motion relative to other objects in space. This motion is taken into account when determining positions and velocities in physics.


How would you describe the change in forces and motion in space?

In space, objects experience very little resistance or friction compared to Earth, allowing them to maintain a constant velocity if left undisturbed. The force of gravity is still present and governs the motion of objects in space, causing them to orbit around celestial bodies or travel in a straight line if they have sufficient velocity to escape gravitational pull. Overall, the motion in space is characterized by inertia, gravity, and minimal external forces affecting the objects' trajectories.


What imaginary line can be used to measure the motion of celestial object?

The celestial equator is an imaginary line in the sky that is used to measure the motion of celestial objects. It is a projection of Earth's equator into space and helps astronomers locate objects in the sky based on their declination.


What is the definition of gravitational strength and how does it impact the motion of objects in space?

Gravitational strength refers to the force of attraction between two objects due to their mass. In space, this force influences the motion of objects by causing them to orbit around larger objects, such as planets or stars. The strength of gravity determines the speed and trajectory of these objects as they move through space.

Can gravity deflect your direction in space?

Yes. Gravity is the main force that affects the motion of objects in space.


How is space described?

Space is the entire volume in which all objects are located and in which all motion takes place.
