Only partially. Meteoroids passing near Earth are affected by Earth's gravity, but they are traveling far faster than escape velocity, that gravity is usually insufficient to cause an impact. Rather, meteoroids strike Earth and its atmosphere when their trajectories around the sun intersect that of Earth such that they will pass through the same place at the same time. In the case of a near-miss, Earth's gravity will alter an asteroid's or meteoroid's orbit. In some cases this change can lead to a collision later on.

Why does a paper fall differently on the moon than on earth?
because of gravity. the paper will not actually fall onto the moon but rise up. earth has 10.0n of gravity and the moon has much less, so it wont fall but rise.
What day of the year does the earth have the least gravity?
As long as the Earth's mass doesn't change, neither does its gravity, regardless of what day it is.
Why do objects fall towards the center of the earth?
Gravity
Do all objects fall towards the center of the earth?
Yes, all objects on or near Earth's surface fall towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravity acting upon them. This is why objects dropped from a height fall downwards.
How objects fall on Earth and on the moon?
Objects fall towards the ground due to gravity on both Earth and the moon. However, the acceleration due to gravity is higher on Earth than on the moon, so objects fall faster on Earth compared to the moon. Additionally, the lack of atmosphere on the moon affects the way objects fall by reducing air resistance.
If you parachuted on the moon and earth which one will you fall faster on?
you will fall faster on the earth because earth has a higher gravity
Why is it that if the earth is revolving the living organism don't fall?
because of the gravity of the earth
Why do you fall if you jump?
because gravity pulls you back to earth
Why don't we fall off the Earth?
We don't fall off the Earth because of gravity. Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, keeping us and everything else on the surface.
Why do meteoroid fall into the earth?
They are attracted by the gravitational attraction of the earth.
Does an apple fall faster on the moon or earth?
On the earth because the earth has stronger gravity than the moon
What is the movement of an object toward earth solely because of gravity?
The movement of an object toward the Earth solely because of gravity is called free fall. In free fall, the object is only under the influence of gravity and experiencing no other forces that would slow it down.
Were on earth is their no gravity?
Well on earth everywhere this is gravity. but once you leave earth there is no more gravity ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No, gravity is present through out all space. When you leave the Earth and go into orbit round it, it APPEARS that there is no gravity, but gravity is causing you to orbit the Earth. You do not feel this gravity because you are in free fall.
Why do objects fall towards the centter of the earth?
Because of an effect called Gravity.
Why does a paper fall differently on the moon than on earth?
because of gravity. the paper will not actually fall onto the moon but rise up. earth has 10.0n of gravity and the moon has much less, so it wont fall but rise.
Why all objects above the surface of the earth that are left without support fall down?
Objects above the surface of the Earth fall down due to the force of gravity. Gravity is the natural force of attraction that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth. Without a supporting force to counteract gravity, objects will fall towards the Earth's surface.
Can the earth fall down?
its not possible, because gravity keeps it up.
