Why don't planets float around?
Planets do "float" in space due to the force of gravity, which keeps them in orbit around a star. Their movement is controlled by the balance between their forward inertia and the gravitational pull exerted by the object they are orbiting. Without gravity, planets would not maintain their stable orbits.
What will happen if the planets do not follow their orbits?
If a planet doesn't follow its orbital path, then it may crash into other planets, moons and/or other object floating around in space.
What keeps the earth and all the planets and suns floating in thin air?
What they float in is not even thin air. It's nothing otherwise knows as 'space'. They stay there because there is no force to make them move out of where they are. The planets go in their stable orbits round the Sun, with their forward speed balanced by the Sun's gravity which makes them curve continuously towards the Sun.
Are space junk formed around other planets?
Yes, space junk can be found around other planets in our solar system. For example, Mars has debris from previous missions and satellites that have been sent there. Additionally, moons such as our own Moon can also have bits of debris left behind by spacecraft.
Does space shuttle revolve around earth before going to other planets?
Space shuttles are not designed to go to other planets, they stay in a near earth orbit, orbiting earth several times in a mission before returning back to earth. They don't really go far from our planet.
Why a moon does not float in space?
A moon does not float in space because of the gravitational force of the planet around which the moon in question orbits. Although moons differ in size and in orbital speed, among other considerations, all are as it were "stuck" to their planets by gravitational pull.
What are the componants of a galaxy?
Stars (including our sun) planets, meteors, comets, moons, and dust particles that float around space.
What would happen if you were able to drop from a space shuttle?
you would float around till you get in a black hole or a planets grational pull

What large object float in space above earth to take picture of stars and planets?
Hubble Space Telescope
What happens when you get out of Earths gravitational pull?
When you reach beyond Earth's gravitational pull, you enter outer space. Objects in space continue to be influenced by the gravitational forces of other celestial bodies such as the sun, planets, and stars. Becoming free from Earth's gravitational pull allows spacecraft to travel to other planets and explore the universe.
Why do planets stay up in the sky?
There is no gravity in space so they just sort of float and every planet orbits around the sun and also helps them stay in place
What did Galileo discover or invent?
he found that the planets rotate around each other and that space is massive
What will happen if the planets do not follow their orbits?
If a planet doesn't follow its orbital path, then it may crash into other planets, moons and/or other object floating around in space.
Why does the moon not crash on earth but stay in space and not float away or into earth?
The moon and other planets and their satellites are held in space by the force of gravity from other planets and satellites. If the moon tried to drift off into space, gravitational forces from the Earth will keep it from floating away. It doesn't crash into the Earth because planets and moons pull AGAINST each other and keep each other from drifting away.* * * * *Only partly true.The moon does not float away because of the action of earth's gravity - whether you view this as a force or a distirtion of space-time in the moon's path.The moon does not crash into the earth, not because of other planets or satellites, but because of the momentum of its orbit around the earth.
Why do you do specific gravity what is its purpose?
because without gravity we would all float around and mabie float into space... It would kill us because without gravity we would all float around and mabie float into space... It would kill us
