What else can I help you with?
What two questions can you ask your class about earth moon and sun?
How far away are they from each other and in relation to the Earth.&At what speed are they traveling through space.
How many inches does the moon move away from the earth each year?
The moon is moving away from the Earth at a rate of about 3.8 centimetres - or 1.5 inches - per year.
When there is a full moon where are the Moon Sun and Earth relative to each other in space?
They are in a line with Earth in the middle.
Is earth closer to the sun then the moon?
Yes - and no !... The moon orbits the earth - so - there will be times each day, when it's closer to the sun than the earth is. During the earth's 'night time' - the moon is further away from the sun.
Does the earth and the moon exert a gravitational force on each other?
no they don't
How much does the moon move away from earth each year?
The moon moves away from Earth at a rate of approximately 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) per year due to tidal forces. This gradual drift is caused by the transfer of Earth's rotational energy to the moon's orbital motion.
How does the moon stay close to earth?
The moon stays close to Earth due to gravity. The gravitational force between Earth and the moon keeps them in orbit around each other. This balance of gravitational forces prevents the moon from drifting away from Earth.
How does Newton law universal gravitation apply to Earth and the moon?
it applies to the earth and moon because their two objects in the universe that attract each other.
What two questions can you ask your class about earth moon and sun?
How far away are they from each other and in relation to the Earth.&At what speed are they traveling through 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.
When will the moon drift away from the earth?
The moon is already drifting away from Earth. The other plants, and the sun, are pulling it closer to them. The moon moves a little less then a centimeter a year, but it is moving further away. Sooner than later, we might be moonless!
How many inches does the moon move away from the earth each year?
The moon is moving away from the Earth at a rate of about 3.8 centimetres - or 1.5 inches - per year.
What foce pulls the moon and Earth toward each other?
Gravity is the force responsible for pulling the moon and Earth toward each other. This force keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth and causes tides on Earth.
Do The Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other?
Yes, the Earth and Moon both exert a gravitational force on each other. This force is responsible for the Moon orbiting around the Earth.
When there is a full moon where are the Moon Sun and Earth relative to each other in space?
They are in a line with Earth in the middle.
What do the earth and the moon have the same distance from?
each other
How are the earth moon and sun related to each other?
The moon circles around the earth; the earth circles around the sun.
