If the moon in its orbit around earth behaves like a ball at the end of a string being swung above your head what forces are involved?

The forces involved in the moon's orbit around Earth are gravitational force and centripetal force. The gravitational force from Earth keeps the moon in orbit, while the centripetal force acts as the tension in the string, pulling the moon towards the center of its orbit.


Why is the beginning of the month warmer than the end of the month?

At the beginning of the month, the Earth is moving closer to the sun in its orbit, leading to slightly increased sunlight and higher temperatures. As the month progresses, the Earth moves further away from the sun, resulting in decreased sunlight and cooler temperatures towards the end of the month.


Why dont you have an eclipe of the moon every month?

eclipses are actually very rare and are basically a miracle they occure. since the earth is spinning around the sun and the moon is spinning around the earth at the same time its rare that they end up covering the light from the sun. simple terms...sun gives off tons of light towards earth, moon is spinning and so is earth, and the moon is REALLY far away, and somehow the moon manages to get stuck in the earths shadow and vice versa


How high is space from the earth?

Average orbit, 340 kilometers, or 210 miles. It drops about 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) per month, so every time the Space Shuttle links up with it, the Shuttle boosts it up about 10 miles or so. this will not help any one becase its wrong


Do your think will mean the end of life on earth?

The end of life on earth is speculated often when natural disasters occur. The end of an individual's time on earth comes when they die.

How many days does it take Earth to orbit the Sun to the nerest whole number?

Actually,It might take a few Light years.Some people say that the Earth will end in 2012.Its not true,Well nobody knows if the world will end.If you believe that the Earth will not end, then it might not end!If you would like the Earth to end just wait about 60yrs or something,because mostly some people don't want the earth to end.


Will there be an end to your world?

Yes, at some point all good things must come to an end. But not anytime soon will earth end.


Is the earth going end or not?

Eventually it will. However, no one knows how or when that will be.Yes, the earth will at some point, come to an end. No one knows when, but all things created and formed have an inevitable end to meet, and the planet earth is no exception.


Where does the earth travel fast?

The Earth travels around the sun in an orbit that is in an elliptical (oval) shape. The sun is not in the center of the oval, but nearer to one end. The point in Earth's orbit when it is closest to the sun is called the perihelion, and that is also the point when the Earth is traveling fastest in its orbit. Where it is furthest from the sun (aphelion) is where it is traveling slowest.


Can the earth lose orbit?

no God wont end the world that way. without the sun there is no life


What are the tiny things at the end of insects legs?

It has some tiny things on the end.


What will happen at the end of time?

Basically, the sun would get to close to the earth causing it to burn, or the power could push the moon out of orbit causing it to hit earth and could destroy every living human being on earth.


What would happen if the planets do not have their own orbit in space?

Many things, the most significant one would be that all life on the planet would die. The very particular orbit around the sun is what maintains the optimum temperature for life to survive on Earth. If you're not so concerned with life, but rather with the planet itself, a lack of orbit may still be rather problematic. Whilst space is very big (to quote Douglas Adams), there also is a lot of things in it which could spell an abrupt end to a planetary body without an orbit. For example, if Earth's orbit got disrupted or disappeared altogether it would simply spin off into the depths of space. Blackholes, stars, nebula, other planets, asteroids, comets etc whose paths would not have crossed with the Earth could now become targets, it wouldn't end well. Of course the real answer is that we don't know, but space is large and dangerous and the fact that we're living at all is an astronomically small chance. Change any number of factors, like temperature, atmosphere, gravity etc could lead to the end of civilisation on Earth and probably it's destruction - so having no orbit wouldn't bode well at all.


What is orbit of the Earth?

The orbit of the earth is an ellipse. Look down at the plate you are holding, see the circle. Rotate an edge toward the floor and see the outline turn into a football shape. This perfect, symmetrical ellipse is not, however, what is normally seen in Nature. An egg is the best instructional form. Look at it from either end and a circle appears, rotate it and an ellipse appears that is different at each end - the asymmetrical ellipse - this is more of a natural occurrence. Also, the more the rotation, the more pronounced is the ellipse. A largely flattened ellipse, say one a thousand times longer than wide, could describe the shape of a comet's orbit. Earth's orbit is far more circular and a good 93 million miles in radius.

Does earth have to come to an end?

All things do, but probably not in the near future nor in 2012.
