What do you think that earth and the moon do not bump each other as they travel around sun?
because while they are within the suns gravitational field they are both being affected with the same pull so it would not cause them to crash into each other because they are orbiting in a separate system.
The Earth and Moon are both orbiting the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system.
In slightly simplified terms the Moon orbits the Earth.
That orbit is stable, so they keep their distance from each other.
The Earth-Moon system then orbits the Sun.
What else can I help you with?
What other challenges do you think would be for engineers designing a spacecraft to travel to Mercury?
Making it able to travel to Mercury and deal with Mercury's temperature.
Do Earth's minimum and maximum distances from the sun change year to year?
Those distance can change slightly, mainly due to gravitational attraction by other planets. But as a first approximation, you can think of Earth's orbit around the Sun as fixed.
How does the sun's gravity work on the earth if the earth already has a gravitational pull of its own?
Everything that has mass has gravity. It's not just the sun's gravity alone, or the earth's gravity alone. The sun and earth attract each other. The sun is so much more massive that it is easy to (erroneously) think that it is ONLY the sun that is doing the attracting. Think of a make-believe planet that has a moon of identical mass. The planet is the one supporting human life. Which one is orbiting around the other? You are mistaken if you think the planet remains 'still' relatively speaking, and the moon is doing all of the orbiting. If you could observe them from high to the north, you would see that they really spiral around each other. So, the earth is pulling on the sun at the same time that the sun is pulling on the earth.
Why does the sun feels hotter in the summer than it does in winter?
During summer, the sun is higher in the sky, so its rays travel a shorter distance through the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in less absorption and scattering of the sunlight. This makes the sunlight more intense, leading to hotter temperatures. In winter, the sun is lower in the sky, causing its rays to travel through more of Earth's atmosphere, which reduces the intensity of the sunlight and makes it feel less hot.
How lond does it take light to reach Earth from Mars?
It takes light about 3 minutes to travel from Mars to Earth when the two planets are at their closest distance, which is about 54.6 million kilometers. At their farthest distance, which is about 401 million kilometers, it takes light about 22 minutes to reach Earth from Mars.
Why do you think that the earth and the moon do not bump each other as they travel around the sun?
because they have their own orbit
Why do you think Earth revolves around the Sun and not the other way around?
Earth revolves around the sun, and not the other way around, because the sun is several hundred thousand times more massive than Earth is.
Is Earth large?
no, not compared to other planets around us. Think about it.
How do you travel pandas?
You cannot travel a panda. You are too large to fit onto the panda and travel around on its body. I think you meant to use some other word besides "travel."
What is the vocabulary word for when the earth travels around the sun in a never changing path?
For one, the earth doesn't travel around the sun in a NEVER CHANGING path. I THINK the word is orbit. if you're wondering what shape the Earth travels in, it is called an ellipse.
Is The Earth Flat(For All The Idiots Out There)?
This Might Not Prove It But Let's Say Your Friend Likes Travel,What Would They Say?They Would Say"Soon,I'm Gonna Travel All AROUND The Earth"They Don't Say"Soon,I'm Gonna Travel All Flat The Earth,Or Skinny The Earth,Or Thin The Earth"Like It Don't Work Like That,Like I Said,This Might Not Prove Anything,But Think About It
Does earth travel in a circle around the sun?
yes the galaxy does revolve around the sun. gravity may have something to do with it because i think that it holds the universe together
What is it called when the sun revolves around the Earth?
The idea that the sun revolves around the Earth is called geocentrism. This theory was widely accepted until the 16th century when the heliocentric model, with the Earth and other planets revolving around the sun, was proposed by Copernicus.
Evidences that prove the real shape of the earth?
Evidence that supports the spherical shape of the Earth includes photos of Earth from space, the way ships disappear hull first over the horizon, the curvature seen at high altitudes, and the way constellations change as you travel north or south. These, along with other scientific measurements and experiments, have all contributed to confirming the Earth's round shape.
In heaven can you travel to other galaxies?
maybe but i think not
Can you travel to the center of the earth?
No, because it's to hot for a human being or anything else to go to the center of the earth. I think
What did people think that the planets and stars orbit around?
around Earth!
