What else can I help you with?
What would happen to the earth if the sun's gravity were to disappear?
If th sun's gravity were to disappear, Earth would go off in a straight line into interstellar space.
Why is gravity important in the relationship between the Earth moon and the sun?
Because gravity is the force that holds them together. If you take it away they all go off in a straight line on their own into outer space.
Without sun's gravity would earth go into space in a straight line or a circle?
For the purposes of the argument, I am assuming that the earth already has a velocity (Speed and Direction). Any mass in space (i.e. a low gravity environment), would travel in a straight line until it comes into proximity of another object of sufficient mass.Basically, the earth would travel in a straight line until it came across another star, at which point it would change direction.If you want to think in bigger contexts, you could say that the earth will travel in a massive orbit around the galaxy since the galaxy's core is of sufficient mass to affect the direction of travel of earth.
Does gravity pull on astronauts while in orbit around earth?
Yes. Gravity is what keeps them in orbit. If it were not for gravity, those astronauts would continue out into space in a straight line.
Will gravity ever let go and push us away from the earth?
No.
What would happen to the earth if the sun's gravity were to disappear?
If th sun's gravity were to disappear, Earth would go off in a straight line into interstellar space.
How inertia and gravity combine to keep earth in orbit?
gravity and inertia combine to keep earth in orbit because the suns gravity keeps the earth in orbit and the inertia keeps the earth from going in a straight line.
How do planets go in straight lines like meteoroites go straight but were connect to going round?
All bodies travel in a straight line relative relative to space-time except when influenced by gravity. Meteorites follow the same rules and travel in lines following gravity. They travel so fast that in Earth's atmosphere they tend to burn up while looking as if they are going straight. But they are following the path established by gravity.
Why does the earth not moves due to gravity?
The earth does move due to gravity.Without gravity, the earth would move in a straight line. The force of gravity between earth and the sunis what bends the earth's path into a closed curve around the sun, called earth's "orbit".
Why is gravity important in the relationship between the Earth moon and the sun?
Because gravity is the force that holds them together. If you take it away they all go off in a straight line on their own into outer space.
Were on earth is their no gravity?
Well on earth everywhere this is gravity. but once you leave earth there is no more gravity ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No, gravity is present through out all space. When you leave the Earth and go into orbit round it, it APPEARS that there is no gravity, but gravity is causing you to orbit the Earth. You do not feel this gravity because you are in free fall.
What are the two factors that keep the earth orbiting the sun and the moon orbiting the earth?
Gravity and Inertia. The gravity keeps the planet, moon etc. going in a circle and inertia keeps it going (inertia is the tendency of a moving object to continue in a straight line or a stationary object to remain in place. If there was no gravity the planet, moon etc. would just go in a straight line but with gravity it pulls it in a circle like a string attached to an object at the center.
Why does a ball arch when thrown and not in a straight line?
The gravity from Earth pulls it down, thus changing its direction.The gravity from Earth pulls it down, thus changing its direction.The gravity from Earth pulls it down, thus changing its direction.The gravity from Earth pulls it down, thus changing its direction.
Why gravity decreases as you go down the earth surface?
the gravity does not decrease it increases because their is more matter the deeper you go down into the earth.

What causes causes objects to move in a curved line around the Earth?
Gravity. Things naturally travel in a straight line unless another force acts on them. The moon would travel in a straight line but is dragged down by the gravity of the earth. This constant acceleration towards the earth causes it to orbit the earth in a curve.
Does gravity pull on astronauts while in orbit around earth?
Yes. Gravity is what keeps them in orbit. If it were not for gravity, those astronauts would continue out into space in a straight line.
