Why does the moon not crash on earth but stay in space and not float away or into earth?
The moon and other planets and their satellites are held in space by the force of gravity from other planets and satellites. If the moon tried to drift off into space, gravitational forces from the Earth will keep it from floating away. It doesn't crash into the Earth because planets and moons pull AGAINST each other and keep each other from drifting away.* * * * *Only partly true.The moon does not float away because of the action of earth's gravity - whether you view this as a force or a distirtion of space-time in the moon's path.The moon does not crash into the earth, not because of other planets or satellites, but because of the momentum of its orbit around the earth.
Why don't all things on earth float away into space?
They don't float away because of gravity
How are planets closest to the sun different from the planets that are farther away?
The planets that are closest to the sun get more heat than the ones more farther away. The four inner planets are dense and rocky. The four other planets have small solid cores surrounded by vast atmospheres. The four inner planets have one significant satellite among them (the moon), while each of the outer planets has many satellites. The four inner planets are small, while the outer planets are massive.
Do plants get colder the further away from the sun?
If you mean planets, yes. If you mean plants, they probably can't be found on any other planets aside from Earth
What are the group of planets that are the farthest planets from the sun?
The planets that are farthest from the sun are called the Outer Planets. They are located outside the asteroid belt.They are (from closest to the sun):JupiterSaturnUranusNeptuneThey are all made up of gases.

Why do other planets have a different number of days compared to other planets?
If you mean in a year, then it's because it takes different times to circle the sun then planet earth (because they are more far away or closer).
How do planets revolve around the sun in the same oval or circle shape every year?
Gravity from the sun pulls the planets near it and away from it ad away foer it
Is Uranus the closest to the sun?
Closer than the other planets in our Solar System? No - only Neptune is farther away, the other planets are closer to the SuUn than Uranus.Closer than the other planets in our Solar System?

Are there any planets that are less then a light year away from Earth?
All of the planets in our Solar System are less than a light year away, but no other planets around other stars are within that distance.
How people know that there are other planets?
Because we can see the nearest planets through telescopes and for those much further away we can detect them by their effect on other planets and stars.
How far is Pluto from the other planets as it orbits the sun?
How far away is Pluto from all the pther planets?
What keeps the planets the same distance from each other?
Actually, the planets aren't all the same distance away.
When was Float Away created?
Float Away was created on 2005-09-20.
When was Float Away Deconstructed created?
Float Away Deconstructed was created in 2005.
Does the other planets go around the sun?
Our nine planets orbit around the Sun. Other planets that are light-years away orbit around their suns (A sun is just a large star with planets). Hope this helped!
How many planets away from the earth is the moon?
No planets away.
