What holds the moon in place so it doesn't shoot off into space?
The moon is held in place by Earth's gravitational pull. The gravitational force between Earth and the moon keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth.
List of planets in order that orbit the moon?
No planets are in orbit around the moon
The force that holds planets and moon orbit is called?
Gravity holds the planets and moon in orbit. According to Einstein's Theory of Relativity, a star is like a ball sitting in the mesh of space-time; it makes an indent in the material. When a planet or comet enters the vicinity of the star, it begins to "roll" around in this indent like a marble rolling around the inside of a salad bowl. Whereas the marble will eventually hit the bottom and stop, the planet falls into place at the right distance to hold an orbit around the star. The same is true with the moon and earth, but on a smaller scale.
How does gravity affect the stars moon an planets?
Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the stars and the stars in orbit around the center of the galaxy. Gravity also holds the stars together against their own internal pressure.
Do all planets orbit the moon?
No. The planets orbit the sun.
What holds moon and planets in place?
The force of mutual gravitational attraction. We know THAT it works, but we don't know how. Yet.
Are planets held in place by gravity?
Yes they are the sun has gravity that holds the planets in place.
Why can't the atmosphere of gas giant planets escape into space?
Where a planet or moon has an atmosphere, it is the gravity of the moon or planet that holds the atmosphere on the planet or moon.
How do planets move and what keeps them in place?
Planets move away by gravity not holding it together and also gravity holds planets together
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 is the centripetal force holding the moon into Earth?
The force that holds the moon in place is gravity. Without gravity, there wouldn't be a moon.
why was gravity made or like thought of?
it holds the planets that orbit around the sun and what keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth
What are the planets on the moon?
None. The Earth's moon is not a planet and there are no planets "ON" any moon. Many planets in the solar system have several moons.
What holds the moon in place so it doesn't shoot off into space?
The moon is held in place by Earth's gravitational pull. The gravitational force between Earth and the moon keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth.
Why do the planets and moon stay in place?
Because they're in the gravitational pull of the sun known as orbit
Why does the earth not fly off into space?
Because the suns orbit holds the earth and all of the other planets in place.
What planet is the moon?
The Moon is a moon and the planets are planets, so it's impossible for a moon to be a planet. See related questions.
