The falling apple helped Newton to understand the law of gravitational attraction between masses. The apple did not fall up, it did not fall sideways, it fell toward the earth. Newton could see a universal law in the fall of the local apple. The fall of the apple confirmed his ideas of why the earth orbited around the sun, etc.
On earth, 19620N is 2002kg
On or near the surface of the Earth, 1 newton is the weight of 0.102 kg. In other places, 1 newton is the weight of a different amount of mass.
Muslim scientists who studied the heavens perfected the Greek astrolabe. Sailors use this tool to study the stars and determine their location at sea. They used the astrolabe to measure the size and distance around the Earth. Based on the measurements they figured out Earth is round.
According to Isaac Newton, initially the earth was a fluid body. However the rotation of the earth discards the possibility of it being spherical in shape. He concluded that the earth must have flattened poles that are caused due to the centrifugal force of rotation.
True. Gravity is the force responsible for both phenomena.
Newton concluded that the combination of the gravitational force between the Earth and the Sun, and the Earth's inertia moving it in a straight line, keep the Earth in orbit around the Sun.

The gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon is responsible for keeping the Moon in orbit around the Earth. This force acts as a centripetal force, pulling the Moon towards the Earth and keeping it in a stable orbit.
Gravity.
Gravitational Force is responsible for keeping the moon in the orbit around Earth.
On Earth, an object weighs about 9.8 newton for every kilogram.On Mars, an object weights about 3.7 newton for every kilogram.
Sure, according to Newton's Third Law, the Moon must also attract the Earth. Actually, saying that the Moon revolves around the Earth is only an approximation. it is more accurate to state that Earth and Moon revolve around the common center of mass.Sure, according to Newton's Third Law, the Moon must also attract the Earth.

Newton realized that gravity keeps bodies in orbit around each other. That's the only factor that's necessary, which is lucky, because that's the only one that exists.
Well they looked at the sky and figured they could always see them both and that they were just going around the earth. Not that the moon was going around us but we were going around the moon.
Who was the father of modern astronomy: JKepler and Newton. Who asserted that the Earth orbits around the Sun: Copernicus and Galileo.
