GRAVITY!
A2. Centripetal force. The velocity of the satellite around the earth causes centripetal, force which balances with the gravity, holding it in a circular orbit around the earth.
What else can I help you with?
What force is responsible for the moon orbiting around the earth and earth orbiting around the sun?
The force of gravity causes the moon to orbit the Earth, and the Earth to orbit the sun.
What causes planets to orbit?
Planets are kept in their orbit by the suns gravity, yet their momentum keeps them from falling into the sun. (Thank goodness!) Planets orbit in the direction their star rotates, so in our solar system, all planets orbit in the direction of the star.
What causes the moon to orbit the sun?
Nothing does.Simply because the moon does not orbit the sun.The moon orbits Earth, not the sun. And Earth orbits the sun.Gravity is what causes planets and moons to orbit.
Identify one force that keeps earth in orbit around the sun?
The force of gravity, specifically the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Sun, keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun. This gravitational force creates a balance between the Earth's motion and the pull of the Sun, causing the Earth to continuously orbit around the Sun in a stable path.
Can the moon orbit around the sun?
No, the moon orbits around the Earth, not the sun. This is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon. The moon's orbit around the Earth is what causes its phases and affects tides on Earth.
What force is responsible for the moon orbiting around the earth and earth orbiting around the sun?
The force of gravity causes the moon to orbit the Earth, and the Earth to orbit the sun.
What is the force witch causes the earth to orbit the sun?
The force that causes the Earth to orbit the Sun is gravity. Gravity is the attraction between two objects with mass, and in the case of the Earth and the Sun, this gravitational force keeps the Earth in its elliptical orbit around the Sun.
What is the force that makes it possible for Earth to orbit the Sun?
The force that makes it possible for Earth to orbit the Sun is gravity.
What to factors act together to keep earth in orbit around the sun?
The mutual gravitational attraction between the earth and the sun is the force that keeps the earth in orbit around the sun. It's the only force required, which is lucky, because it's the only force that exists.
What force causes Earth's centripetal motion?
The force that causes Earth's centripetal motion is gravity. Gravity pulls Earth towards the Sun, causing it to orbit in a circular path around the Sun. This centripetal force keeps Earth moving in a curved path rather than in a straight line.
What is the name of the force that makes the earth orbit the sun that starts with C?
The name of the force that makes the earth orbit the sun doesn't start with ' C '. The force that does it is the force of gravity.
Does the sun make the earth's gravity?
Gravity causes a 'mutual' force between every two masses, that attracts each of them toward the other one. The mutual force between the sun and earth is what keeps the earth in its orbit around the sun.
What force keeps the moon in orbit around the sun?
The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the sun is the gravitational force between the sun and the moon. This force causes the moon to continuously fall towards the sun but its orbital motion prevents it from colliding with the sun.
What causes the moon to orbit around the sun?
the moon doesent orbit the sun, the earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits the earth.
What is the attraction between the sun's gravity and earth's gravity and what is the pattern of the orbit?
-- The sun and Earth attract each other on the line between their centers. -- That fact, together with the format of the formula for gravitational force, causes the Earth's orbit to be an ellipse.
What causes the moon to orbit the sun?
Nothing does.Simply because the moon does not orbit the sun.The moon orbits Earth, not the sun. And Earth orbits the sun.Gravity is what causes planets and moons to orbit.
What causes planets to orbit?
Planets are kept in their orbit by the suns gravity, yet their momentum keeps them from falling into the sun. (Thank goodness!) Planets orbit in the direction their star rotates, so in our solar system, all planets orbit in the direction of the star.
