Gravity on the sun is so strong it holds the eight planets, the Earth's gravity is only strong enough to hold the moon in place and stop its self from being sucked into the sun, The moon's gravity only stops its self from crashing into the earth but is not strong enough to not cause large waves sometimes. At least that's what they said in science class.
What else can I help you with?
Why does the moon not fall down?
The moon orbits the earth, it could be said that it is falling down, but it keeps missing the earth. (Over simplified).
What keeps the Moon from floating away?
The Earth's gravitational force keeps it from moving away into outer space. (* Gravity is a mutual force of attraction between matter, so the Earth pulls on the Moon while the Moon pulls on the Earth.)
What holds the moon up in the sky?
The orbital path of the moon and gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth keep it up there where it is supposed to be.
Which of the following forces exerted by the earth on the moon keeps the moon in orbit?
The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth is gravity. Specifically, the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon is what keeps the moon in its elliptical orbit.
Full moon is which orbital stage of the moon?
A full moon is when the moon is in its orbital phase where it is directly opposite the sun, with its illuminated side facing Earth. This occurs approximately every 29.5 days as the moon completes one full orbit around Earth.
What is the influence that keeps the Earth and the Moon in their respective orbits?
The influence that keeps the Earth and the Moon in their respective orbits is gravity. Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects with mass, such as the Earth and the Moon, that keeps them moving in their paths around each other.
What keeps the moon ins orbit around earth?
That's the mutual force of gravitation (gravity) between the Earth and the Moon. This, combined with the Moon's velocity (its inertia), results in the orbital path that the Moon follows.

What is the orbital period of the moon in earth years?
the orbital period of Saturn in earth years are 89years
How long is the moon's orbital period in days?
The orbital period of the moon [around the earth] is 27.321582 days.
What is the orbital period of the moon?
27.3 days around the earth.
What are the effects of suns paths on earth?
