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.


How far apart are the are the outer planets compared with the inner planets?

The outer planets are much farther apart from each other compared to the inner planets. The inner planets, including Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are relatively close to each other, while the outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are more widely spaced out in the solar system.


Are there any livable planets for humans?

There are probably millions of them. We have only found one so far. The problem with inhabitable planets other than the Earth is they're so far away.

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?

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.

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!
