what forces act upon the moon as it is orbiting earth?
Gravity hold the moon in orbit
How do objects in space move around other objects in space?
Objects in space move around other objects due to gravitational forces. These forces cause objects to orbit around a more massive body, like planets around a star, based on their mass and distance. The path an object follows is known as an orbit and is determined by a balance between the object's velocity and the gravitational pull of the larger body.
How do gravitational forces hold down celestial forces?
Einstein postulated that all objects mass, their gravity, effects local space. A ball floating on water is close to a visual example. Because of the gravity causes curves in space, very massive objects bend space deeply and it seems like down hill to less massive objects. The Earth would gladly go flying off in a vector if released from the hold the Sun and Jupiter place on it. The Sun holds us in its orbit as we hold the moon in orbit around the us. Because the Earth is 6 times more massive than our moon the Earth holds it. The Moon is falling towards us, but going around us because of its' speed. At this moment all of the activity we can see in space was caused by gravity.
The largest objects that orbit the sun are called?
The largest objects that orbit the sun are planets.
What two motions keep an object in orbit?
An orbit is made possible by an equilibrium, or balance, of forces. Typically, this involves two forces: one of gravitational attraction between the objects and another caused by centripetal acceleration. At a given radius of orbit, a velocity can be found such that these two forces are equal, keeping the object in orbit.
What are the forces that keep objects in orbit and how are these forces affected by distance?
The forces are gravitational forces. They become weaker with distance and mass reduction

What do you call the kind of forces that hold objects in circular patterns?
Pulleys or Wheel and Axels
Is the perimeter of a planet's orbit determined by how big or small it is or how hot the sun makes the planets?
NO, the orbit of any planet or moon is determined by the size of the two objects involved (example: the Earth and the Sun) and the distance between those two objects: the closer the objects are to each other and the bigger one of the objects is, the stronger the gravitational pull ( large objects have stronger forces on other smaller objects). The orbit of a planet has nothing to do with the Sun's heat.
Why do the planets and other objects in the solar system stay in their orbit?
Each planet remains in orbit because of the pair of equal gravitational forces that attract it and the sun toward each other.
Are planets objects?
Yes, planets are astronomical objects that orbit a star, have sufficient mass for their self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that they assume a nearly round shape, and have cleared their orbit of other debris.

Forces is responsible for keeping the planets in orbit around the Sun?
The solar system's planets, planetesimals, asteroids, and comets are held in orbit by the force of gravity, the mutual attraction between these objects and the Sun.
Why does everything orbit the sun?
Everything orbits the sun because the sun has more mass and gravitational pull which forces the earth and other objects to rotate it.
What force orbits around the earth?
No force orbits around the Earth. Forces do not orbit. The force that keeps material objects in orbit around the Earth is the mutual force of gravity between the Earth and the object.
Are there any objects that orbit around the planet saturn?
Yes there are millions of objects that orbit Saturn.
