Why don't satellites in orbit fall to the ground why don't the fly off in space?
that is because the 0 gravity keeps it in space and the orbit brings them around without knocking them down or anywhere else
Why do the 8 planets keep orbiting the sun?
The 8 planets continue to orbit the sun due to a balance between the sun's gravitational pull and the planets' forward motion, which creates an elliptical orbit. This balance allows the planets to constantly move around the sun in a stable manner.
Why does a satellite not fly off into space from the earth's atmosphere?
A satellite stays in orbit due to a balance between its forward motion and the gravitational pull of the Earth. The velocity of the satellite allows it to continuously fall towards the Earth but also keeps missing it, causing it to remain in orbit. If there were no gravitational pull, the satellite would fly off into space.
What would happen to the planets if you took away the sun's gravity?
If the sun's gravity suddenly disappeared, the planets would no longer be held in orbit around it. They would continue moving in a straight line due to their inertia, leading them to drift off into space in their respective directions. The solar system as we know it would cease to exist.
What was the name of the first space shuttle to fly in space?
The first Space Shuttle, named Columbia, took off into space on April 12, 1981.
Why don't planets fly off into space?
its because of the gravity coming from the sun
Why don't satellies in orbit fall to the ground why don't they fly off into space?
Because it have some gravity from space.
Why does the earth not fly off into space?
Because the suns orbit holds the earth and all of the other planets in place.
Why does not the Earth fly off into outer space?
Because the suns orbit holds the earth and all of the other planets in place.
Why do the planets not fall into the sun or fly off into space?
This phenomenon is controlled by gravitational pull. Large objects tend to have a large gravitational pull. Smaller objects are pulled in by large objects. The reason why planets are a steady distance from the sun is because they have a perfect amount of inward and outward pull.
Would you fall off of Uranus?
No, like all planets (and most moons), uranus has enough gravity to prevent things from flying off into space.
Why do the planets stay in the same orbit the whole time?
Because the gravitational pull of the Sun - keeps them there ! The planets are always trying to fly out into space, but the outward pull of the planets is counteracted by the gravity the sun exerts on them. If the sun's gravity stopped - all the planets would zoom off into space !
How does the space shuttle fly?
It really doesn't fly, on lift off it is essentially a Rocket, on reentry it is a brick with wings, it more has a controlled fall back to earth than a flight..
What would happen to our solar system if there were no gravity?
The planets would fly off into space and lose their moons and atmospheres. The sun would explode from its enormous interior pressure.
Can planets fall off there orbit?
scientists are still discovering
Gravity is the reason that the planets stay in orbit around the sun?
It is half the reason, at least. Gravity is the force pulling the planets towards the sun, but they also have a velocity working perpendicular to it. With the velocity alone, the planets would fly off into space. With gravity alone, the planets would be pulled into the sun.
