If, by some mysterious process, the gravitational forces between the Earth
and moon suddenly disappeared, the moon would continue in the solar orbit
in which it already is. But the present relatively small perturbations in that orbit
caused by the Earth's presence would smooth out, and the moon's orbit would
become truly elliptical, without the small wiggles.
What else can I help you with?
What keeps astronauts from being pulled by the earths gravitational force?
Nothing keeps them from being pulled. Earth's gravity certainly pulls on them.
What will happen if there is same climate on the earth?
This varies on what climate is being discussed here. If there is climate on Mercury that is similar to that of Earth, temperatures would arise.
What is the causing of the ice caps melting?
Global warming, also known that the sun is melting them. sense we are being pulled toward the sun, the earth is getting warmer.
If a rocket was launched from earth and traveled close to the planet mars it could go to orbit how could this happen?
If the rocket from earth looped into the Mars gravitational pull it should be pulled into a orbital path around the planet. But as on earth it would eventually slow down and be attracted to the surface of Mars were it would crash
Why are rocks frequently pulled under the surface of the earth?
The rocks are frequently pulled under the surface because, Due to the movements in the crust.
What keeps astronauts from being pulled by the earths gravitational force?
Nothing keeps them from being pulled. Earth's gravity certainly pulls on them.
What would happen if earth stopped rotating and if its axis were perpendicular to its orbit?
Stoped rotating. A day would take a year. Perpendicular. There would be no seasons.
What do you think would happen if the earth stoped moving?
The gravitational pull of the sun would not be balanced by the outward force derived from the Earth's centripetal motion, and the earth would fall into the sun.
What happens to earth if the moon is pulled away by the sun?
It can't happen, so it would be pointless to worry about it.
What would happen if the sun came closer to earth and what would happen to the plants?
If the earth got pulled in closer to the sun, or if the sun expands significantly, then the earth will get much warmer. That said, nothing like that is going to happen for a couple billion years yet.
How did the earth's moon get there?
a giant meteor was pulled into earths gravity being too big it could only orbit earth
In which direction does gravity pull you?
Gravity acts as though you were being pulled to the center (of the earth, in my case).
Why do space object hit earth?
Because, either we happen to be in it's way, or the object is pulled in by Earths gravitation field.
How does shearing affect rock in Earth's crust?
Shearing affects the rocks in the earth's crust when the rocks are being pulled apart in opposite horizontal directions
What are objects on earth pulled to?
Towards the Earth.
Do All objects fall toward the center of the earth.?
All objects on earth are pulled towards the center of the earth by gravity. The objects are pulled to the core(center of earth), but are not pulled through because of the normal force.
Why are planes pulled toward water?
They aren't. They are pulled towards the center of the earth, as are all objects on the surface of the earth.
