The moon's gravitational pull is the source of a renewable energy source. The moon controls the tides, that is where we get tidal energy. We often convert this into electricity.

Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?

Moons orbit around planets. They are natural satellites that are held in orbit by the planet's gravitational pull.


Why there is high tide during full moon?

Depending on where you live, you have high tides about every 12 hours, no matter what the phase of the Moon. However, at the full and new moons, you have higher-than-average "spring" tides, because the gravitational pull of the Moon lines up with the much lower gravitational pull of the Sun. At the quarter moons, we have lower-than-average "neap" tides because the tidal pull of the Moon and the tidal pull of the Sun are working at cross-purposes.


Does meteors is planets or moons?

Meteors are pieces of either moons or planets that broke off and are freely floating around in place t'ill they get attracted by a planets gravitational pull.


How do lo Europa Ganymede and Callisto stay in orbit around Jupiter?

The Galilean moons—Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto—remain in orbit around Jupiter due to the planet's strong gravitational pull. This gravitational force keeps the moons in stable orbits as they revolve around Jupiter. The balance between their orbital velocity and Jupiter's gravitational pull keeps them from escaping or falling into the planet.


Why planets and their moons are able to always stay in orbit?

Planets and their moons stay in orbit due to the balance between the gravitational pull of the planet and the moon's motion. This balance is governed by Newton's law of universal gravitation. As long as the gravitational force between the planet and its moon is strong enough to keep the moon in orbit, they will continue to move in a stable path.
