Because the mass of the Earth is enough to set up a gravitational attraction
between it and any other mass, which in turn provides more than enough
centripetal force to keep any mass moving in a circular path with a radius of
4,000 miles and a period of 24 hours.

What is differences between space satellite and earth satellite?
space satellites are in space and earth satellites are in earth.
How is geology related to earth space science?
It studies the earth and its neighbors in space.
Why does earth have a water supply and the moon doesnt?
The moon is much too small to support an atmosphere - and thu any water that could exist on the surface would simply boil away into space.
Which layer of the atmosphere is the highest an airplane can fly?
Airplanes fly in the Stratosphere, which is the second major layer of the Earth's atmosphere. It is below the mesosphere and above the troposphere. It is stratified in temperature, with warmer layers higher up and cooler layers farther down. This is in contrast to the troposphere near the Earth's surface, which is cooler higher up and warmer farther down. The winds in the stratosphere run parallel to the Earth in fast moving air streams.
How are conditions in space different from those on earth?
Earth has lots of gravity to pull you back and space does not, space is like a never ending trampoline.
How fast does the space station fly?
The space station does NOT fly. IT is in space and there is no are for it to fly in. The space station is in Earth Orbit moving at 7.66 kilometres per second.
How can you return to outer space from earth in astro island?
Get in your space ship and fly down to earth
Where does a space shuttle fly to?
space shuttles fly out to space. For example, the moon or just to orbit Earth. The next mission is trying to get to mars!
How is eating on space different from eating on earth?
the food sterts to fly in space
Is earth easier to fly on than space?
Yes
How space is harder to fly on than earth?
Because earth has a lot of gravity
What stuff fly in space that hit the earth?
unicorns and comits
Why does a satellite not fly off into space from the earth's atmosphere?
because the earth's gravity keeps it in place
Why doesnt the gas on a gas giant planet escape into space?
For the same reason that our atmosphere on Earth does not escape into space - gravity.
Can you ride an airplane to the moon?
No. An airplane is not designed to fly out of the Earth's atmosphere, only a space rocket has the ability to fly to other celestial bodies and space stations.
Facts about the earth and space?
it is a sphere that is flat from top and bottom space is filled of vacum so in space things fly and there is no oxygen
What is the movie in which a person from earth goes to mars where he ca fly?
space omania
