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.
The moon and other planets and their satellites are held in space by the force of gravity from other planets and satellites. If the moon tried to drift off into space, gravitational forces from the Earth will keep it from floating away. It doesn't crash into the Earth because planets and moons pull AGAINST each other and keep each other from drifting away.* * * * *Only partly true.The moon does not float away because of the action of earth's gravity - whether you view this as a force or a distirtion of space-time in the moon's path.The moon does not crash into the earth, not because of other planets or satellites, but because of the momentum of its orbit around the earth.
The space shuttle is not designed to go to the moon and has never gone to the moon; it is strictly used for travelling to and from Earth's orbit (and has mostly been used to travel to the International Space Station). If the shuttle were for some reason flown to the moon, it would crash there, since it requires an atmosphere in order to land successfully. However, if it was your intention to fly the shuttle to the moon and crash, that could be done in about 3 days, in theory. I doubt that NASA would approve the mission.
The main reason is because the Earth has 80 times as much mass as the Moon has.
The gravitational affect of the moon.
The moon orbits the earth by gravitational pull. Every object is attracted to one another by gravity, and the more mass an object has, the greater the gravity, so the Earth pulls on the Moon, and the Moon pulls on the Earth (gravitationally, that is), so the Moon orbits the Earth. The only reason why the Moon doesn't crash into the Earth is because the Moon's velocity is pointed away from earth, so the moon and Earth are in a constant state of gravitational pulling, and the moon orbits the earth for that reason.it goes in a circle
The moon doesn't crash into the Earth because of its orbit and the gravitational pull between the two objects. The moon's speed and distance from the Earth keep it in a stable orbit, preventing a collision.
The moon doesn't crash into Earth because of its orbit and the balance of gravitational forces between the two objects. The moon's speed and distance from Earth keep it in a stable orbit, preventing a collision.
It may, or it may not. There is no particular reason to assume that a comet will crash into Earth precisely in 2012.
No, since Earth is much closer to the Moon than the Sun, the suns gravitational effect on the Moon's orbit is negligible.
a long time ago a plant crash into earth and it became earth and a piece of it become the moon
Yes as a matter of fact they can hit the Moon. Take a look at the Moon through a telescope and you will see what I mean.

The moon revolves around the earth, and the earth revolves around the sun. The reason for this, simply, is gravity.
No. All the sputniks were in fairly low-Earth orbits, and wouldn't have been able to get anywhere near the Moon.
Yes!! Rocks and other space objects crash into them all the time!!
The main reason is because the Earth has 80 times as much mass as the Moon has.
