What would happen if there were no forces on earth?

Answer 1

If the Sun and the Sun's gravity suddenly disappeared, each of the planets would go flying off into space at their orbital velocities. In the case of Earth, that's about 67,000 miles per hour. Depending on where each planet was in its orbit, there might be the possibility for a collision or a near-miss with another planet.

We humans wouldn't really notice; we'd be too busy freezing to death to care.

Answer 2

The Moon has been hit by many meteorites that might have hit Earth, so without a moon Earth may have suffered from more impacts.

Also, the Moon is responsible for slowing down the rotation of Earth, so with no Moon the length of day would be much longer.

The Moon is causing the tides, so these would be gone.

Answer 3

All the stuff that makes up the solar system would fly off into outer space.

Imagine a shot putter. They spin round holding the ball and chain faster and faster and then let go. The same would happen with everything in our system. moons asteroids planets etc.

Answer 4

In that case, they might eventually crash into one another. As a matter of fact, the planets' orbits are not completely fixed - they might change over time, for example, due to the gravitational influence they have between one another.

Answer 5

The natural tendency of any object is to move in a straight line, at a constant speed. This is called inertia. Forces such as gravity acting on a planet will change this over time, but without any such forces, the object will just continue moving in a straight line, at constant speed.

Answer 6

Without gravitational force, orbits would not exist, and planets would take off

and sail away in straight lines. Moreover, planets would not even exist, because

gravity is what pulls material together to form a planet.

Answer 7

All of the planets and other objects in the solar system would go flying off course. The asteroid belt would go in every direction and collide with multiple objects.

Meanwhile on Earth, people, animals and everything that wasn't bolted down would start to float. The atmosphere would also completely dissipate. People would have their choice of being smashed to pieces, drowning in the water that would be everywhere, freezing or burning(depending on whether the earth flew towards the sun or away from it, or flying off into space. Fun!

Answer 8

first of all, the earth wont stop going in the same direction.

second, we would probably know if we were travelling towards the sun or another planet so all or most of human civilisation would die.

Answer 10

They will be punished! No seriously, it would take enormous amounts of energy to disturb a planet from its orbit if such energy were available it would rip the planet to small pieces or filing it into interstellar space.
