What are forces that keep the moon in orbit around the earth?
Gravity keeps planets in orbit as it spins it creates gravity and gravitational pull keeps the a lined
Earth's orbit is not a circle is it?
No, all orbits are ellipses. That includes the Earth's orbit.
What causes the cycle of seasons in earth?
The tilt of the Earth's axis in relation to the plane of its orbit.
Does changes in Earth's orbit effect Earth's climate?
yes
What two factores combiend to keep earth in oribit around the sun and the moon in orbit around the earth?
Only one force is required: gravity ... the gravitational attraction between the center of the earth and the center of the sun. If gravity were not at work, then the Earth would take off in a straight line, into deep space. And if another force were required, we'd be out of luck, since the gravitational attraction is the only force that exists.
What is the name force that makes Earth orbit the sun?
Gravity.
How does the force of gravity from the earth affect the moon?
Gravity makes the Moon remain in orbit around Earth.
Is the force that makes an apple fall the same force that keeps the earth orbiting around the sun?
Yes - the same gravity that makes the apple fall from the tree - keeps the earth in orbit around the sun.
What force orbits around the earth?
No force orbits around the Earth. Forces do not orbit. The force that keeps material objects in orbit around the Earth is the mutual force of gravity between the Earth and the object.
What force keeps earth in orbit?
The gravitational force.
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.
Which type of force is responsible for keeping the moon in the orbit around earth?
Gravitational Force is responsible for keeping the moon in the orbit around Earth.
Which force is responsible for the orbit of the earth?
The Earth stays in its orbit under the force of gravity from the Sun, which is much more massive than all the planets.
Which force holds Earth in its orbit?
The mutual force of gravitational attraction between the sun and the earth.
What is the force that makes satellites orbit at the same height around the earth?
Gravity keeps satellites in orbit. The closer you are to the Earth, the faster you have to go to maintain your orbit. At low Earth orbit, the altitude of the Space Station, you make an orbit every 90 minutes. At the Moon's distance you need over 27 days to go around the Earth. In-between there is an altitude which matches the rate of the Earth's rotation. Many satellites orbit at this altitude.
How is the earth kept in orbit?
By a force called gravity
What force keeps the earth in its orbit?
its called gravity
