What forces make the moon orbit around earth?
The main force that causes the moon to orbit around the Earth is gravity. The gravitational pull of the Earth keeps the moon in its orbit, while the moon's own momentum prevents it from falling into the Earth. Additionally, the gravitational pull of the moon also affects Earth's tides.
How does the moon stay close to earth?
The moon stays close to Earth due to gravity. The gravitational force between Earth and the moon keeps them in orbit around each other. This balance of gravitational forces prevents the moon from drifting away from Earth.
Why does the moon stay in its orbit and does not fly into space?
Same reason we don't fly into space. Gravity. There is no repulsive force trying to push the moon away. The only two forces involved (mostly) are the moon's forward velocity, and the Earth's gravitational pull. enertia is actually pulling the moon about a foot a year away from us
What force keeps the moon from flying away from the earth?
Gravity keeps the moon in a steady orbit around the Earth. We might not seem to be moving very fast but we are moving quite fast. Fill a bucket half way full with water, hold on to the handle and spin around, notice that the water doesn't go flying out. That your movement in a circle keeping the water in place. Same with the moon. We are moving fast in a circle around the sun, our gravity is balenced so that we keep the moon from flying away from the Earth and into space.
Why does moon stay in orbit around earth?
The moon stays in orbit around Earth due to the gravitational force between the two bodies. This force keeps the moon moving in a curved path around Earth, preventing it from flying off into space. The balance between the moon's forward motion and Earth's gravitational pull maintains its stable orbit.
What force keeps the moons from floating away from the planets?
The force of gravity between the moon and the planet is what keeps the moon in orbit around the planet. This gravitational force prevents the moon from floating away into space and keeps it in a stable orbit.
What prevents a planets moon from flying into space?
The gravity of the sun an each moon's respective planet keeps them from flying into space.
Is there a treaty that prevents the placing of nuclear weapons in orbit or on the moon?
Yes true
What forces causes your moon to orbit the earth instead of flying off through space?
Our moon orbits the earth because it is held by gravity in an elliptical orbit.
What forces make the moon orbit around earth?
The main force that causes the moon to orbit around the Earth is gravity. The gravitational pull of the Earth keeps the moon in its orbit, while the moon's own momentum prevents it from falling into the Earth. Additionally, the gravitational pull of the moon also affects Earth's tides.
How does the moon stay close to earth?
The moon stays close to Earth due to gravity. The gravitational force between Earth and the moon keeps them in orbit around each other. This balance of gravitational forces prevents the moon from drifting away from Earth.
What force keeps the Earth in its orbit and stops it flying off into space?
The force that keeps the Earth in its orbit and prevents it from flying off into space is gravity. Gravity is generated by the mass of the Earth and pulls objects toward its center, creating the centripetal force that maintains the Earth's orbit around the Sun.

Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?
The moon orbits Earth.
What is it called when a moon's orbit is backwards?
When a moon's orbit is backwards, it is referred to as a retrograde orbit.
