What else can I help you with?
Why is the moon spinning around the Earth and not any other planet?
The gravity of the earth is pulling it into orbit.
What foce pulls the moon and Earth toward each other?
Gravity is the force responsible for pulling the moon and Earth toward each other. This force keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth and causes tides on Earth.
What is caused by the earth pulling down on you?
Your weight, caused by the effect of gravity.
Is it true that earth's gravity pulls the moon toward it?
Yes, Earth's gravity does pull the Moon towards it. The force of gravity between the Earth and the Moon is what causes the Moon to orbit around the Earth. The Moon's motion is a balance between its inertia trying to move in a straight line and the gravitational force pulling it towards Earth.
If you weigh 100lbs on earth you would weigh 16.6lbs on the moon and why?
On the moon, gravity is about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth. Therefore, if you weigh 100lbs on Earth, you would weigh approximately 16.6lbs on the moon. This is because the force of gravity pulling you toward the moon is much weaker compared to the force of gravity pulling you toward Earth.
What two motions combined make the moon orbit Earth?
Velocity and gravity (movement around the Earth and the gravity of the Earth pulling on it).
Why is the moon spinning around the Earth and not any other planet?
The gravity of the earth is pulling it into orbit.
How much is the gravity at the center of the earth and in which direction is it pulling?
The gravity at the center of the Earth is zero because the mass around you causes gravity to be in equilibrium. It is pulling in all directions equally, resulting in a net zero gravitational force at the center.
Why does the pull of gravity keep the moon in orbit around the earth rather than pulling the moon into earth?
The reason is that the Moon is always moving forward.The forward movement of the Moon is balanced with the inward pull of Earth's gravity.Because of this balance, the Moon stays in stable orbit around the Earth.
What is the pulling force that the planet earth has?
The pulling force that the planet Earth has on objects is known as gravity. It is responsible for keeping objects on the surface of the Earth and is determined by the mass of the Earth and the distance of the object from its center.
What is the reaction force if Sun's gravity pulling on Earth is the action force?
The reaction force in this scenario is the Earth's gravity pulling on the Sun. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.
What force does the earth exerts by pulling?
The fource of Gravity.
Would the moon top moving if earths gravity did not pull on it?
If the Earth's gravity were to stop pulling on the moon, the moon would continue to move. It would, however, fling off away from the Earth rather than continuing in its orbit.
What foce pulls the moon and Earth toward each other?
Gravity is the force responsible for pulling the moon and Earth toward each other. This force keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth and causes tides on Earth.
What is caused by the earth pulling down on you?
Your weight, caused by the effect of gravity.
How do the earth and the moon orbit the sun?
the earth travels around the sun in a roughly circular path because the sun's gravity is pulling on the earth. The earth does not fall in to the sun, because it is moving very fast, which gives it centripetal momentum. Its kind of like a tether ball spinning around the pole. The rope represents the suns gravity pulling on the earth. When you hit the ball it goes around the pole in a circular path. The moon circles the earth in the same way
