What else can I help you with?
What would happen to the International Space Station if it were not moving sideways?
Earth's Gravity would pull it straight down to earths surface.
Why does dust on the moon not float?
Dust on the moon does not float because there is no atmosphere on the moon to support floating particles. Without air resistance and buoyancy, the dust simply settles back down to the surface due to the moon's gravity.
Why does a space shuttle need to travel so fast when entering earths atmosphere?
Although it reaches incredible speeds, a Space Shuttle is not going fast when it enters the atmosphere. The gravitational pull of Earth, or just gravity, are pulling down on the space shuttle with immense force.
Why do asteroids affect the surface of the Earth and the Moon differently?
Asteroids can affect the Earth's surface more due to its thicker atmosphere, which causes asteroids to experience greater resistance and breakup before impact. On the Moon, with no atmosphere to slow down or break up asteroids, impacts are more direct and create craters that can remain preserved for longer periods of time.
What outside force helps bring a rocket down to the surface of the Earth?
Gravity
Why air pressure from earths atmosphere is not the cause of gravity?
Gravity is an entirely separate entity which is a consequence only of the mass of the earth itself. In fact, the atmosphere presses down because gravity is pulling on it.
What force acting on a meteor falling down through the earths atmosphere?
The main force acting on a falling meteor through the Earth's atmosphere is gravity. Gravity pulls the meteor downward towards the Earth's surface, causing it to accelerate as it falls. Air resistance also plays a role in slowing down the meteor's descent as it interacts with the atmosphere.
What happens to objects that enter the earths atmosphere?
the objects which enter the earths atmosphere are being pulled down towards the earths surface due to the earths gravity. And so it leads to falling falling of large objects from the space on the surface of the earth.
Where does gravity pull people and objects?
On the earths surface gravity pulls you down.
What would happen to the International Space Station if it were not moving sideways?
Earth's Gravity would pull it straight down to earths surface.
When earths regions of earths surface sinks down what is it called?
Subsidence.
How does air help shape the Earth?
the wind causes erosion, carrying the soil to any place on earth, dropping it onto any surface, thus controlling the earth's surface.
Is air pressure the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on earth?
Yes, air pressure is the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on Earth's surface due to the force of gravity pulling the air molecules towards the ground.
Which of these does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
The atmosphere exerts pressure on all objects and surfaces within it, including buildings, people, and the Earth's surface. This pressure is a result of the weight of air molecules above pressing down on objects below.
How does wind and water alter the Earths surface?
Wind and water and frozen water are the main contributors to the weathering and erosion of the surface of the Earth. Along with gravity, these agents wear down elevated surface features and fill in depressed surface features.
On earths surface how much force does the pull of gravity have on 1 kilogram of mass?
9.8 newtons, down
How does wind and water alter earths?
Wind and water and frozen water are the main contributors to the weathering and erosion of the surface of the Earth. Along with gravity, these agents wear down elevated surface features and fill in depressed surface features.
