What else can I help you with?
Does Earth exert a force on Mercury?
Yes. There is a gravitational force of attraction between every pair of mass objects. EVERY pair.
Why do the moon go around the earth instead of the earth going around the moon?
-- The earth and moon both orbit their "common center of mass" ... the point between them where the pivot of the see-saw would have to be in order for them to balance each other. -- Since the earth's mass is about 80 times as much as the moon's mass, that point has to be 80 times farther from the center of the moon than it is from the center of the earth. -- The result is that their "common center of mass" is actually inside the earth. So if you're watching the pair from the outside and you're not measuring too closely, you'd swear that the moon is going around the earth, and you wouldn't notice that the earth is also slightly wiggling. -- By the way ... People often ask "Does the moon orbit the sun or the earth ?" That "common center of mass" of the earth-moon pair is actually the thing that's in orbit around the sun, while the earth and moon are both orbiting it.
What keeps International Space Station in orbit?
The same phenomenon that keeps the moon in earth orbit, and the planets in solar orbit. It's the mutual force of gravitational attraction between every pair of masses. Without gravity, the space station would just sail off in a straight line and never be seen again.
Does the moon go away from earth?
-- The earth and moon both orbit their "common center of mass" ... the point between them where the pivot of the see-saw would have to be in order for them to balance each other. -- Since the earth's mass is about 80 times as much as the moon's mass, that point has to be 80 times farther from the center of the moon than it is from the center of the earth. -- The result is that their "common center of mass" is actually inside the earth.

That "common center of mass" of the earth-moon pair is actually the thing that's in orbit around the sun, while the earth and moon are both circling around it.
The centripetal force acting on the moon continuously changes the of the Moon's motion?
The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.The gravitational attraction from the Earth.
What was the name of the first animal or animal pair to orbit the earth?
The first animal to orbit the Earth was Laika, a dog on board the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 2 in 1957.
What are the names of the first animal pair to orbit the earth?
during the cold war the soviets launched a dog named lika on orbit
What would be the effect on satellites now in orbit if the earth were to stop rotating?
The rotation of either body has no effect on a pair that are in mutual gravitational orbit. It would have effect at all.
Does Earth exert a force on Mercury?
Yes. There is a gravitational force of attraction between every pair of mass objects. EVERY pair.
Does the moon orbits around the earth?

What animal has a pair of antenna?
Insects
Which animal has a pair of big teeth which are not meant for eating?
Elephants have such pair of teeth.
What occurs as a result of the Moon's gravity?
As a result of gravity, there exists a pair of equal forces between the Earth and moon, attracting each of them toward the other one, causing the moon to remain in orbit.

What forces are acting on earth besides the gravitational pull of the sun?
There is a pair of equal gravitational forces between the Earth and every other bit of matter in the universe. The only ones that make any difference over the span of several human lifetimes are the pair between the Earth and sun, and the pair between the Earth and moon. Mutual gravitational forces between the Earth and each of the other major planets are affecting the Earth's orbit, but the effects are so small as to be imperceptible over the course of human civilization, and too slow for prediction.
which animal has a pair of teeth which are not meant for eating?
elephant
