What else can I help you with?
what forces act upon the moon as it is orbiting earth?
Gravity hold the moon in orbit
Is the moon pulled by the earth's gravity?
Yes. the mutually attracting forces of gravity hold the moon and earth together and cause the earth's tidal forces.
What is the gravitational force that hold the moon in orbit around the earth?
1.98 x 10 ^ 20 N
How does the sun hold Earth in orbit?
The sun's gravitational pull creates a centripetal force that keeps Earth in its orbit. Earth's forward momentum keeps it from falling into the sun while the sun's gravity keeps it from moving away. This delicate balance results in Earth moving around the sun in a stable orbit.
How do gravitational forces hold down celestial forces?
Einstein postulated that all objects mass, their gravity, effects local space. A ball floating on water is close to a visual example. Because of the gravity causes curves in space, very massive objects bend space deeply and it seems like down hill to less massive objects. The Earth would gladly go flying off in a vector if released from the hold the Sun and Jupiter place on it. The Sun holds us in its orbit as we hold the moon in orbit around the us. Because the Earth is 6 times more massive than our moon the Earth holds it. The Moon is falling towards us, but going around us because of its' speed. At this moment all of the activity we can see in space was caused by gravity.

Gravity hold the moon in orbit
What force hold the earth inits orbit around the sun?
Gravitation.
Is the moon pulled by the earth's gravity?
Yes. the mutually attracting forces of gravity hold the moon and earth together and cause the earth's tidal forces.
How do you know that the sun doesn't revolve around the earth?
The easiest way to explain it is gravitational pull. Earth is not large enough to hold the sun in an orbit around it.
What is the gravitational force that hold the moon in orbit around the earth?
1.98 x 10 ^ 20 N
What forces act to hold a planet in orbit around the sun?
The gravitational force between the planet and the sun is what holds the planet in orbit around the sun. This force keeps the planet moving in a curved path around the sun, in balance with the planet's inertia.
Why does the sun is able to hold the planets in orbit?
Exactly the same way the earth is able to hold the satellite in orbit that your neighbor gets his TV from,through that little dish on the outside of his house.It's the force of gravity between the central body and the things orbiting around it.
How does the sun hold Earth in orbit?
The sun's gravitational pull creates a centripetal force that keeps Earth in its orbit. Earth's forward momentum keeps it from falling into the sun while the sun's gravity keeps it from moving away. This delicate balance results in Earth moving around the sun in a stable orbit.
Why do you think the sun's gravity does not pull the earth into the sun?
The pull of the Sun's gravity is needed to hold the Earth in orbit.
Why is earth not thrown off of its orbit?
Because the sun's gravitational pull and inertia hold it.

Why does gravity hold moon with the earth?
Since the earth is larger than the moon it generates a more powerful magnetic field which pulls the moon towards the earth and causes it to orbit as the earth rotates on its axis, and the reason it stays in orbit is because the moon is moving fast enough to stay in orbit rather than be pulled into the earth yet it's not moving so fast that it will leave earths orbit.
