How do rocks stay on the moon without gravity?
The moon has gravity, but it is much weaker than Earth's gravity. Rocks on the moon stay on the surface due to the moon's gravitational pull, which is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This weaker gravity allows rocks to stay in place on the moon despite being less massive than on Earth.
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.
Why is the earth's moon so close to the earth?
The moon is so close to the earth because the gravity of earth pulls it in which also causes the tides. Some Scientists say that earth is pushing out and leaving the earth a couple centimeters every year.
What is the region of the sky where the moon and planets appear?
The Moon, Sun and planets all appear in a strip of sky called the ecliptic. It is a plane defined by the plane of the Earth's orbit and the Sun is always on the ecliptic, while the Moon and planets stay close to it.
How close does the moon ever come to earth?
The moon's distance from Earth varies because its orbit is elliptical. On average, the moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers) away from Earth. At its closest point, called perigee, the moon can come as close as about 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers) from Earth.
How long does it take the moon to get close to the earth?
The moon is already close to the earth
How do satellites and the moon stay at the same height?
They do not. Artificial satellites are mostly close to the Earth, while the Moon is a quarter-million miles away.
How close is it from earth to the moon?
Not really.
How does the temperature change when the moon is close to the earth?
It doesn't - the moon's proximity to Earth has no bearing on Earth's temperature - the Sun does that.

What is the close space object to earth?
moon
Why was the moon so close to the earth on 19 march 2011 How does the moon get close to the earth?
It was not especially close; the perigee distance is 363,104 km. The Moon orbits the Earth in an elliptical path, and it comes that close to Earth every month. But the orbital cycle isn't on the same schedule as the phases of the Moon. The Moon happens to be exactly full at the very same time as the Moon reaches perigee only once every 28 years or so.
How close is the moon from earth?
The moon's average distance from earth is listed as 238,855.7 miles (384,401 km).

Moon is the closest neighbor of the earth?
Yes. The moon is the only natural body close enough to Earth to orbit it.

The Moon, Sun and planets all appear in a strip of sky called the ecliptic. It is a plane defined by the plane of the Earth's orbit and the Sun is always on the ecliptic, while the Moon and planets stay close to it.
