How does the moon stay in orbit around the Earth?

The moon stays in orbit around the Earth due to the gravitational pull between the two bodies. This gravitational force keeps the moon moving in a curved path around the Earth, balancing the pull of gravity with the moon's inertia to maintain its orbit.


Why do planets moon star stay on their orbit path?

I have no clue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I hope this helps alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What force causes the moon to stay in orbit around the earth?

Earth's gravitational pull. See attached link for more information.


Did the Eagle stay in lunar orbit after it was jettisoned?

For a period of time it stayed in lunar orbit, however, that orbit eventually decayed and the ascent stage crashed onto the moon.


How do planets stay in orbit around the moon?

the moon orbits around the planet, not the other way around; gravity keeps it orbiting


Gravity provides a centripetal force on the Moon helping it stay in orbit around Earth?

Correct! The force of gravity between the Earth and the Moon acts as a centripetal force, keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. This balance between gravity and the Moon's inertia allows it to continuously move in a circular path around the Earth.


How do the moons of Jupiter stay in orbit?

Gravity, just like our moon. gravity pulls it around


Why does mars and its moon stay in orbit around the sun?

I don't think you understand the gravity of this situation!!


Why do the planets and moon stay in place?

Because they're in the gravitational pull of the sun known as orbit


Dose moon orbit around the sun?

You know that the earth does that, right ?Well, if the moon didn't keep up with us and orbit the sun too, there would be no way thatit could always stay just about the same distance from us.So yes, the moon definitely does orbit the sun.


How does the moon Io Ganymede Europa and Callisto stay in orbit with Jupiter?

Io, Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa stay in orbit with Jupiter cause Jupiter has a strong gravitational pull on celestial bodies around it.


How does the moon stay close to earth?

The moon stays close to Earth due to gravity. The gravitational force between Earth and the moon keeps them in orbit around each other. This balance of gravitational forces prevents the moon from drifting away from Earth.
