What keeps the planets in your solar system from floating away?
The force of the Sun's gravity keeps them in their orbits.
Why doesn't equipment float away on the moon?
The Moon has gravity, it is about 1/6 that of Earth's, but it is strong enough to keep objects from floating away.
Is the gravity on the moon enough to keep people floating away?
Yes, it is about 1/3 that on Earth.
Why does every thing fly in the moon?
Everything floats because of the low gravity. Gravity keeps you on the ground; without it, you are floating free!
When the moon revolves around the earth in a circular orbit kept there by gravitational force exerted by the earth does gravity do positive work?
Well, I would say YES! It keeps the air on the earth so we can all breath, it keeps the earth from just going off into space away from our source of all our energy, the sun. It keeps us from just floating away into space. There are millions of things gravity does that is positive work. I can not even to begin to name them.

What keeps the moon close to earth?

Is there really no gravity in space?
No, The sun's gravity is always pulling on all objects which also keeps the planets from floating away.
