No, nowhere near enough. Moreover, it would pull the moon into a closer orbit - gravity is an attracting force - and eventually causing it to crash into the planet.

Why the moon orbits around earth not the sun?

The Moon orbits around the Earth because it is under the gravitational influence of Earth. This gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth. The Sun's gravitational force is much stronger, but the Moon's orbit around the Earth is stable due to the balance between these gravitational forces.


How many stars orbit the moon?

None. Stars do not orbit the moon. They are murch farther away and much larger than the moon is.


The reason the moon does not crash into the earth is?

The moon doesn't crash into the earth because it is in a stable elliptical orbit around the earth. The moon is kept in a gravitational pull from earth, much like a yo yo. During the beginning of earth's conception the moon smashed into earth from somewhere within our solar system it mostly broke apart into smaller pieces and went around earth much like Saturn. But unlike Saturn's massive size and huge gravitational force, the small rocks managed to clump together, like a giant snowball to form the moon.


Why are smaller rockets needed on the moon?

Smaller rockets are needed on the moon because the moon has lower gravity than Earth, meaning less force is required to launch a rocket into space. Using smaller rockets also reduces the cost and complexity of the mission.


Does moon has a gravity?

Yes, the moon has gravity. Its gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth's, which means objects on the moon weigh much less compared to on Earth. This gravitational force is what keeps the moon in orbit around Earth.

What would happen of the force of gravity acting on the moon became much stronger than the force of inertia?

If the force of gravity acting on the moon became much stronger than the force of inertia, the moon would likely be pulled closer to the Earth. This would result in changes to the moon's orbit and potentially lead to it eventually crashing into the Earth. The increased gravitational force would also affect tides on Earth and could have significant impacts on the Earth-moon system.


If the force of gravity between the earth and moon were reduced how might the moons orbit change?

If it happened in a moment, I think the moon's orbit would become much more eccentric (elliptical) than it is now. the moon's compostition is made of rocky material such as rocka and a lot of dust


What are the factors that keep the Moon in orbit around Earth?

The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon keep things together. The moon is slowly getting farther from Earth, however. Ancient humans would have seen a much larger moon in the night sky...


How much does the moon it orbit around itself?

27.7 days

Which force is responsible for the orbit of the earth?

The Earth stays in its orbit under the force of gravity from the Sun, which is much more massive than all the planets.


How much time does it take for the moon to orbit around the earth?

First off the moon doesn't orbit around the earth. But it takes aproximatly one month to go through all the moon phases.


How long doe sit take to get to the moon?

No one can answer this question until we know more details about how the trip is to be conducted. For example, when NASA launched men to the Moon, they used something called a Hohmann transfer orbit. But recently, the Indian government sent a probe to the Moon by a means that used much less energy than needed for a Hohmann transfer orbit, but which took much more time. So there is no one answer to this question.
