How does the moon hover?

It doesn't "hover", it's in orbit around the earth, just like the earth is in orbit around the sun.Basically, the moon has kinetic (movement) energy, which is continually trying to make it move out of orbit. At the same time, the earth pulls on the moon with its gravity. These forces form an equilibrium, resulting in a force that moves the around the earth.


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.


How many days does it take earth to make one complet orbit around the sun?

it takes 365 days for the earth to make one complete orbit around the sun


How long does earth take to make one orbit around the sun?

It takes one year for the earth to orbit around the sun


Which will take more time to complete orbit around the sun mercury or earth?

Earth takes a lot longer to make one complete order around the sun than Mercury does. The time required for Mercury to make one orbit is equal to 88 Earth days (whereas one orbit for Earth is about 365 Earth days).


How many days saturn take to make 1 orbit?

10759.22 days to make one orbit of our sun.


Why the earth and all planet around the sun?

The gravity from the sun "holds" the planets into place and make them orbit the sun. Just like the gravity from the Earth makes the moon orbit the Earth.


What does earth make around the sun each year?

It's called an "observational orbit".


How long does it take the moon to make one orbit around Earth?

3 weeks


How long does it take for the mercury to make one complete revolution around the sun?

It takes Mercury around 88 Earth days to make one orbit of our sun. Roughly 4 times for every one Earth orbit (year).


How long does it take the earth to orbit completely around the sun?

it takes exactly 364 days 22 hrs and 39 min to make one orbit around the sun....It is known as revolution of earth....


What two motions combined make the moon orbit Earth?

Velocity and gravity (movement around the Earth and the gravity of the Earth pulling on it).
