Because while technically true, both move closer to each other, the amount the earth is moved towards the Baseball is maybe a length of an atom or electron. This is hardly measurable so out of convenience we say the ball falls towards earth, the ball has far less mass than a mountain, much less the globe. The thought could be compared to the current effort to find Earth sized planets moving around distant stars. The amount is very small and even present day technology will have a great trouble to discover this via gravitational deviation. Far larger Jupiter sized planets have only been found near our solar region of the galaxy and only in about the last decade. Previously the mass of the Jupiter sized planet was too small of a deviation compared to the far larger mass of the star or stars in that stellar system.

What holds the earths orbit around the earth?

WHAT HOLDS THE EARTH IN ITS ORBIT REVOLVING AROUND THE SUN?In fact the Earth's orbit is a sort of equilibrium. The Earth's revolutions around the Sun provides it with centripetal force. A force that wants to eject it out of its orbit. That same force that wants to eject you out of your car when you are in a tight bend.However (and fortunately) there exist a strong gravitational force (attracting force) between the Sun and the Earth. It happens that the centripetal force ejecting the Earth is equal and hence balances the gravitational force pulling it towards the earth. As a result the Earth continues its motion around the Sun, undisturbed.As a conclusion, I'll say that what holds the Earth around the Sun it a result of 2 forces acting opposite to each other, namely the centripetal force pulling it away from the Sun and the gravitational force pulling it towards the Sun.


How can you say that earth is still active?

we can say that earth is still active because earth works 24 hours, day an night without any gape. it won't take rest


Statements accurately describes how water moves through Earth and its atmosphere?

Answer: Option A) Explanation: The water falls from the atmosphere in the form of precipitations to the earth, the bodys of water. From there it's evaporated back to the atmosphere to complete the cycle. Is important to say that in between, the water may or may not interact with plants and other organism. Being that said, options C and D doesn't describe the water cycle given that they both say the water falls from space. Option B is not completly wrong but the interation with living organism is a complement to the water cycle and, also, this description doesn't involve the atmosphere. The option A is the most accurate description.


Why does the water spin anti clockwise down a plughole?

It doesn't always - but:If there is any radial motion in the bowl (or if any starts, say during a flush)then the radial motion will be exaggerated as the water enters the drain(smaller diameter).

Is sirius moving away from or towards earth?

Towards Earth, at 7.6 km/sec. They say that in the future, we might be in "Sirius" trouble - but the fact is that Sirius doesn't move exactly towards Earth; there is also a sideways movement, so Sirius would miss us.

Is the core of the earth on fire?

Actually, no. But if something falls into the earth's core, and it is very heavy, like lets say for example: If a Building falls into the earths core, then the whole earth will erupt, causing the earth's core to rotate, then the earth's core will be unstable and the whole world will erupt.


Is there a planet whos axis is strieght up and down?

There is no such thing as straight up and down in space. We, living on Earth, say that something might be straight up and down, but we are relating that to Earth's gravity. If you're in space, what is 'up'? Towards the Earth? Towards the Sun? Or towards somethig else? And that 'something else' might vary from time to time.


Do magnet can attract earth?

May be it may. But it need to be really big enough to attract there magnetic poles. But the gravitation of earth attracts the magnet towards its centre or to say towars the ground.


Why do you say earth is spherical?

The earth is spherical because the gravity pulls all the sides towards the core and its equal gravitational pull all round so this ceates a speherical like shape.

What does it mean when we say the earth's interior is differentiated?

When we say the Earth's interior is differentiated, it means that the Earth is composed of layers with varying densities and compositions. This differentiation is due to the settling of denser materials towards the center of the Earth, creating layers such as the core, mantle, and crust based on their different properties.
