Oh, honey. The moon isn't moving fast, you're just not paying attention. The moon keeps its cool pace in its orbit because that's just how gravity decided to play it. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the lunar show without getting all worked up about things you can't control. Keep looking up, darling.

Does the moon fall into earth?

No. In fact, bouncing lasers off the laser reflectors left by the Apollo astronauts has proven that the Moon is actually moving away from the Earth, around 2 inches a year or so. So if Neil Armstrong went back after these 40+ years, he'd have perhaps 7 feet more to travel than he did in 1969! No. that 's because gravity on the Earth the gravational pull cant let the moon fall down to Earth if the moon has an orbit not too slow and not too fast if it were moving too fast the moon would fly out of its orbit If it were moving too slow then the moon would hit the earth


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.


How will a rockets weight change from the moon to the earth during the journey?

well it will increase because on how fast it is moving


If the moon disappeared would the length of a day change or stay the same?

The moon affects how fast the Earth moves by the tides. If the moon disappeared the days would shorten dramatically (6 hours long). The speed of the Earth would cause more natural disasters because it was moving so fast. Life on Earth would not be what it is today without the moon!


Why does the moon seem to move as you move?

The moon appears to move in the sky as you move because of its position relative to the Earth. As you change your viewpoint by moving, the angle at which you see the moon changes, causing it to appear to shift its position in the sky. In reality, the moon is staying in its orbit around the Earth.

Why does gravity hold moon with the earth?

Since the earth is larger than the moon it generates a more powerful magnetic field which pulls the moon towards the earth and causes it to orbit as the earth rotates on its axis, and the reason it stays in orbit is because the moon is moving fast enough to stay in orbit rather than be pulled into the earth yet it's not moving so fast that it will leave earths orbit.

Is there wind on the moon if so how fast does it blow?

The moon has no atmosphere and therefore no wind.


Does a gas have fast moving particles?

Yes, they do that is why we smell farts so fast

What keeps the moon and artificial satellites in orbit around a planet?

Inertia. The moon is constantly "falling" towards Earth, but it's also moving sideways so fast that it constantly misses and therefore remains in orbit.


How can you stay on earth when moving so fast?

Gravity.


Why does it appear like the sun and moon are following you?

because the moon and sun are so far they appear to be moving.


How did the moon reflect long ago?

the same way as now but the moon looked bigger back then so the moon is moving away.


Is jackals a fast moving or a slow moving?
