The moon will not escape gravity, because the main principle involved is mass. Mass and gravity are very important. The object with higher mass has a bigger radius in gravity and a stronger pull, thus this is how we stay on earth and why the earth revolves around the sun as well as explaining why the moon keeps rotating around earth, although it is moving about 1cm away from earth every year.
What else can I help you with?
A space probe may be carried by a rocket into outer space what keep the probe moving after the rocket no longer pushes it?
Once the rocket stops pushing the probe, it continues moving due to its inertia. In the vacuum of space, without any air resistance to slow it down, the probe will keep moving at a constant velocity until acted upon by another force, such as gravity from a celestial body or a thruster on the probe itself.
Is there gravity where space shuttles orbit?
A very low level, called microgravity, that's a small fraction of normal gravity. Astronauts feel weightless, by comparison. Space shuttles orbit at a distance of 100-200 miles above the Earth. The shuttle is actually falling toward the Earth all the time, but the speed of its orbit keeps it from falling any closer. Don't confuse gravity with weight. The Earth's gravity extends to the outer reaches of the Solar System. Earth's gravity is what keeps the satellites which are orbiting the Earth from flying away into space. "Weight" is measure of the local acceleration due to gravity. When a person is in orbit, inside a shuttle, he is falling along with the shuttle at about 17,000 miles per hour. The mass of the shuttle and the mass of the person are attracting each other with 'micro-gravity' which is a million times less than the gravity of the Earth.
What is meant by the term 'artificial gravity'?
The term "artificial gravity" refers to using science technology to create gravity. This is usually desired by astronauts and space organizations such as NASA to keep their astronauts healthy and to minimize the effects of weightlessness on astronauts during long term space travel.
What keeps us from floating into space?
The force of gravity between the Earth and our bodies keeps us grounded, preventing us from floating into space. Gravity's continuous pull towards the Earth's center counteracts the upward force we would experience otherwise.
How long does it take the space shuttle to reach outer space from launch?
It takes about 8 minutes from launch for the shuttle to reach space. How is that for speed? Once in space, the space shuttle and the International Space Station orbit the Earth about 16 times a day. They are actually traveling faster than a bullet! That fast rate of speed along with Earth's gravity keep them in orbit around our planet
What happens to oscillations of a spring when it is in outer space?
In outer space there would be no resistance to movement, the spring would keep extending if there was no gravity till the force of tension caused it to stop
How does the earth keep gravity?
Gravataional force is applied by the spinning of the earth.
Hy couldn't the astronaut make cinnamon toast?
Because she couldn't find the gravity! Making cinnamon toast in space is difficult without gravity to keep the toppings in place.
How is orbit and gravity related?
When it an object in space in moving it will keep moving at the same speed with the property of inertia. Then moon is an object that has inertia. Gravity keeps the moon from going off into outer space but inertia keeps the moon from crashing into the moon. Gravity and inertia have to be balanced in order for an object to remain in orbit.
How does the water in the earth's oceans keep from flying off into space?
gravity gravity
Why is gravity imporant?
To keep us from floating in to space.
What is the father's main conflict in gravity?
outer conflict
What is used in a space suit to keep astronauts on the moon?
gravity and oxygen
How do gravity and inertia keep the planet in orbit around the sun?
inertia keeps the planets moving and spinning , and gravity is a force that attracts all objects toward each other.
What will happen if you keep on going and going into outer space?
You will die because you are fat!@#%
Does the earth's spin keep the gravity pull here?
No. It is a myth that the spinning of the earth somehow causes or enhances gravity. A planet's gravity is a direct result of its mass, not its spin. The spin of the earth in fact counters gravity to an extremely small but measurable degree.
Why do astronauts need exercise in space?
There's no gravity in space - this affects their muscles. Exercising keep the muscles toned.
