Yes, the moon helps to keep our orbit stable. We'd be in trouble, over the long term, anyway, without the moon. the moon also helps the tide move in and out, so without the moon, no Surfing

Why does the moon seem like it is wobbling?

It doesn't.


What two opposing forces keep the moon from orbiting?

None. The moon orbits the Earth, Earth orbits the Sun. Inertia and the gravity keep the moon in the Earth's orbit.


How in what ways do the Moon's gravity affects the earth?

The Moon's gravity causes tides on Earth by pulling the water towards it, creating high and low tide cycles. The Moon's gravity also stabilizes Earth's rotation, preventing it from wobbling excessively. Additionally, the Moon's gravity may influence the Earth's climate and even play a role in geological activities like earthquakes.


Why does the Moon's appearance keep changing?

because the light on the moon is reflected by the earth so when the earth is not facing on the moon there is not that much light


Does the moon always turns the same face to the earth?

Pretty much. The moon's orbit is "geosynchronous", which means, simply put, what you asked. But because of a slight "wobbling" motion of the moon as it goes through it's orbit around the earth, called "libration". we can actually see about 59% of it's surface over the course of a month.


Does the sun's gravity keep the moon in orbit?

no the earth does


Why did earth keep its atmosphere and the moon did not?

EARTH STARTED TO GET WATER AND PEOPLE WERE BORN SO EARTH WAS LAND AND MOON BECAME A PIECE OF LIGHT


What are the factors that keep the Moon in orbit around Earth?

The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon keep things together. The moon is slowly getting farther from Earth, however. Ancient humans would have seen a much larger moon in the night sky...


How is the moon affected by the earth?

The moon is affected by the Earth primarily through gravitational forces. This interaction leads to phenomena such as the moon orbiting the Earth, causing tidal effects on Earth's oceans, and influencing the moon's rotation to always keep one face toward Earth.


Do inertia pull the moon towards the earth?

No, inertia is trying to keep the moon moving in a straight line, which would be away from Earth. Gravity is pulling the moon towards Earth. The result when these two forces are combined is the moon maintaining a constant orbit of Earth.


Why does the pull of gravity keep the moon in orbit around the earth rather than pulling the moon into earth?

The reason is that the Moon is always moving forward.The forward movement of the Moon is balanced with the inward pull of Earth's gravity.Because of this balance, the Moon stays in stable orbit around the Earth.


What motion does the sun appear to make due to Earth's revolution?
