It was first fully explained by Newtons theory of gravity and laws of motion, but the theory built on previous work by Kepler.

What force causes the moon to stay in orbit around the earth?
Earth's gravitational pull. See attached link for more information.
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.
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.
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.
Why does gravity hold moon with the earth?
Since the earth is larger than the moon it generates a more powerful magnetic field which pulls the moon towards the earth and causes it to orbit as the earth rotates on its axis, and the reason it stays in orbit is because the moon is moving fast enough to stay in orbit rather than be pulled into the earth yet it's not moving so fast that it will leave earths orbit.
Why does moon stay in orbit around earth?
The moon stays in orbit around Earth due to the gravitational force between the two bodies. This force keeps the moon moving in a curved path around Earth, preventing it from flying off into space. The balance between the moon's forward motion and Earth's gravitational pull maintains its stable orbit.
Why does the moon stay in orbit with the earth?
Because there is nothing to slow it down and if there is nothing to slow it down, it can not be deorbited.
Does gravity provide a centripetal force on the moon helping it stay in orbit around the earth?
Yes, gravity is the centripetal force that keeps the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. The gravitational force between the Earth and Moon provides the necessary inward force (centripetal force) to balance the outward inertial force and keep the Moon in a stable orbit.
How was the moons discovered while orbiting the earth?
The first moon to be discovered while orbiting Earth was the Moon itself. Other moons (like Earth's mini-moons or temporary natural satellites) have been detected over the years. These moons are usually small and don't stay in orbit for long periods, making them challenging to observe.
How does earth stay in space and not fall?
The gravitational pull of the Sun keeps the planets in orbit without "falling." This is the same effect the Earth has on the Moon.
Who explained why planets stay in their orbit?
Sir Isac Newton was the scientist who discovered why the planets stay in orbit.
What is a scientific theory about how objects move in space?
The reason object move around space is inertia. Take the moon and Earth for example, gravity makes the moon stay close to the Earth, and inertia makes the moon circle (or revolve, or orbit) around the Earth in a circular motion. the path it takes is called its orbit.
