How does gravity keep the world up?

Gravity is a force of attraction between objects and it keeps objects with mass, like Earth, pulled together. Gravity is what keeps Earth orbiting around the Sun and prevents Earth from flying off into space. It's what keeps us grounded on the surface of the Earth.


Which types of space objects does this agency keep track of?

The agency keeps track of various space objects, including satellites, debris, rocket bodies, and other artificial objects orbiting Earth. They also monitor asteroids and other near-Earth objects that could potentially pose a threat to our planet.


What force keeps a moon from orbiting a planet?

The Moon is orbiting a planet; It is orbiting the Earth. The velocity /acceleration of the Moon and the gravitational pull between Earth and Moon are in balance, so the Moon remains orbiting the Earth. Similarly the Earth and Moon , as a binary system, orbit the Sun , and the acceleration and gravitational forces are in balance. So none of us collide.


Objects that revolves around another object in space?

Many different objects in space revolve around many other things. Usually, it is acceptable to use the term 'satellite' when describing a moon's orbit around a planet, or even a planet's orbit around a star.


Does centripetal force exist in space?

Yes, although space is a vacuum, with no air or other medium for the force to act upon, the concept of centripetal force still applies in space. Objects in orbit experience centripetal force that keeps them moving in a curved path around a central body, such as a planet orbiting a star.

The pull of the sun that keeps the planets in their places?

The Sun's Gravitational pull keeps the planets orbiting it, not flying into deep space.

What are the efffects of gravity?

Gravity keeps your feet on the ground. Gravity keeps all orbiting objects in orbit around the object they are orbiting. The force of gravity decreases as a square of the distance between two objects. Gravity is the weakest of the fundamental forces. Gravity is an attractive force between any two objects that have mass.

What is the role of gravity in an ecosystem?

It keeps the ecosystem from flying off the face of the planet

What is the force that keeps a satellite in motion?

The force that keeps a satellite in motion is the gravitational force of the planet it is orbiting. This force acts as a centripetal force, pulling the satellite towards the planet and keeping it in its orbit.

What prevents a planets moon from flying into space?

The gravity of the sun an each moon's respective planet keeps them from flying into space.


How do planets stay in orbit around the moon?

the moon orbits around the planet, not the other way around; gravity keeps it orbiting


What force keeps the moons from floating away from the planets?

The force of gravity between the moon and the planet is what keeps the moon in orbit around the planet. This gravitational force prevents the moon from floating away into space and keeps it in a stable orbit.


What do the planets orbit around the sun on?

a path called the 'orbit' which you used as a verb in the question, but it's also the noun used to denote the path in which the planet keeps orbiting
