What else can I help you with?
Does the sun and moon spin around the earth?
No, the Earth and the Moon revolve together around the Sun. (The Moon orbits the Earth and both orbit the Sun together.)
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 does the sun stay in orbit around the sun?
The Sun's gravity keeps the Earth (and all the planets) in orbit around it. Yes, but obviously there's more to it or the planet would go into the Sun. It is the Earth's orbital velocity ( technically known as its tangential velocity) which, together with the force of gravity, keeps the Earth in orbit.
The earth and the moon travel together around what?
The moon orbits the earth and together the earth and the moon orbits the sun. Together the solar system orbits the center of the milkyway (where it is thought to be a black hole).
How is the orbit of the earth around the sun shaped?
All planets in our solar system, including the the Earth have an elliptical orbit around our Sun. In Earth's case, the orbit is nearly circular.
Does the sun and moon spin around the earth?
No, the Earth and the Moon revolve together around the Sun. (The Moon orbits the Earth and both orbit the Sun together.)
How satellites stay in orbit?
The reason that satellites stay in orbit around Earth is because of two factors. Velocity and the gravitational pull between the satellite and the Earth.
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 long does it takes the moon to orbit around the sun?
Since the Moon is always orbiting Earth, both Earth and Moon together orbit the Sun in 1 year.
What is it called when the moon moves around the earth?
This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
Where do communications satellites orbit?
Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.Communication satellites orbit around the Earth.
What 2 things keep something in orbit around the earth?
The two things that keep something in orbit around Earth are the object's velocity, which must be high enough to counteract gravity and maintain a stable path, and the gravitational pull of Earth, which pulls the object towards the planet's center. Both factors work together to keep the object moving in a circular or elliptical path around Earth.
What are the 2 factors that newton realized that keep the earth in orbit around the sun and the moon in orbit around the earth?
Newton realized that gravity keeps bodies in orbit around each other. That's the only factor that's necessary, which is lucky, because that's the only one that exists.
What is the telescope that is in orbit around the earth?
The telescope in orbit around the earth as of 2010 is the Hubble Telescope.
What is the shape of the moon's orbit around the Earth?
The shape of the moon's orbit around the Earth is an ellipse.
Does the moon and sun orbit earth?
No it does notNo we are not the only planet in the galaxy we have 8 other planets to. if the earth and the moon was that close to the sun we wouldn't be living.
Does the sun orbit Earth?
No, the sun does not orbit Earth. Earth orbits around the sun.
