The moon doesn't crash into the Earth's surface due to the balance between gravitational attraction and its orbital velocity. While Earth's gravity pulls the moon towards it, the moon is also moving forward at a high speed, creating a stable orbit. This combination of gravitational pull and tangential motion keeps the moon in a consistent orbit rather than allowing it to fall to Earth. Additionally, the moon is gradually moving away from Earth at a very slow rate, further stabilizing its orbit.

Why is it important that a satellite be above Earths atmosphere?

Please remember that close to Earth's surface, a satellite must move at a speed of about 7900 meters/second. If it is inside the Earth's atmosphere, the force of friction will make the satellite lose energy. As a result, it will soon crash to the Earth's surface.

What is called when a wave hits the earths surface?

When a wave hits the Earth's surface, it is commonly referred to as "wave propagation" or "wave interaction." In the context of ocean waves, this phenomenon can also be described as "wave breaking," where the energy of the wave is transferred to the shoreline, causing it to crash and create surf. In seismology, when seismic waves reach the Earth's surface, it is termed "ground shaking."
