I don't think you understand the gravity of this situation!!
Mars' moons, Phobos and Deimos, stay in their orbits around Mars due to a combination of Mars' gravitational pull and their initial velocity when they were captured by Mars' gravity. The gravitational force from Mars keeps them in orbit, preventing them from flying off into space.
Can an object stay in orbit around Saturn somewhere else besides the rings
Planets and their moons stay in orbit due to the balance between the gravitational pull of the planet and the moon's motion. This balance is governed by Newton's law of universal gravitation. As long as the gravitational force between the planet and its moon is strong enough to keep the moon in orbit, they will continue to move in a stable path.
Tangential velocity is the velocity at which an object moves along a curved path. In the case of the moon orbiting the Earth, the tangential velocity of the moon allows it to stay in its orbit and not fall into the Earth due to the balance between the gravitational force pulling it towards Earth and the centripetal force keeping it in orbit.
Planets stay in orbit around the sun due to a balance between the gravitational force pulling them towards the sun and their own momentum carrying them forward. This balance allows planets to maintain a stable orbit without being pulled into the sun or flung out into space.
the moon orbits around the planet, not the other way around; gravity keeps it orbiting
The moon stays in orbit around the Earth due to the gravitational pull between the two bodies. This gravitational force keeps the moon moving in a curved path around the Earth, balancing the pull of gravity with the moon's inertia to maintain its orbit.
Correct! The force of gravity between the Earth and the Moon acts as a centripetal force, keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. This balance between gravity and the Moon's inertia allows it to continuously move in a circular path around the Earth.
because of mars's gravitational pull
Earth's gravitational pull. See attached link for more information.
Gravity, just like our moon. gravity pulls it around
yes and no there;s no answer
The moon stays in orbit around Earth due to the gravitational force between the two bodies. This force keeps the moon moving in a curved path around Earth, preventing it from flying off into space. The balance between the moon's forward motion and Earth's gravitational pull maintains its stable orbit.
Io, Ganymede, Callisto, and Europa stay in orbit with Jupiter cause Jupiter has a strong gravitational pull on celestial bodies around it.
Yes, gravity is the centripetal force that keeps the Moon in its orbit around the Earth. The gravitational force between the Earth and Moon provides the necessary inward force (centripetal force) to balance the outward inertial force and keep the Moon in a stable orbit.
You know that the earth does that, right ?Well, if the moon didn't keep up with us and orbit the sun too, there would be no way thatit could always stay just about the same distance from us.So yes, the moon definitely does orbit the sun.
Planets have a gravitational pull. It is just strong enough for moons to stay in orbit.
