Gravity.
A basic explanation is that anything in the universe that has mass (all matter and substances) create a gravitational field that is always attractive never repulsive. Everything attracts everything else in such a way as if the field was coming from the centre of the object.
The strength of the field depends on the mass (how much 'stuff' there is) and the distance the objects are apart. The more mass there is the greater the field it makes. Double the mass you double the field strength. (If the distance apart remains the same)
However the distance apart works in the opposite way, but the strength drops off more quickly by what is called the inverse square of the distance. Which means if you double the distance apart you reduce the field by four times or to only a quarter of the original strength.
The field spreads out equally in all directions from the centre, so as far as the field is concerned 'down' is always to the centre of the object or mass.
When the object is spinning there is the centripetal and centrifugal forces trying to throw you off. If the spinning speed is fast enough to overcome gravity you will be thrown off, if the speed is not great enough you, and everything else, remain firmly on the ground.
This is the case with the earth and all other planets.
What else can I help you with?
The tides on Earth are an example of?
The tides on Earth are an example of the gravitational relationship between the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun creates bulges in the Earth's oceans, causing the water to rise and fall in a regular pattern known as tides.
What are 4 examples of earth's gravitational pull?
Keeping the Moon in orbit around Earth. Holding objects on the surface of the Earth. Influencing the tides in the oceans. Allowing astronauts to experience weightlessness in space stations or during freefall.
The rise and fall in sea level caused by gravity is called?
The rise and fall in sea level caused by gravity is called a tidal cycle. Tides are caused by the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun acting on the Earth's oceans.
When did early oceans became salty?
baltic area
How often does the tide rise and fall?
Tides typically rise and fall twice a day, every 12 hours and 25 minutes, due to the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the Earth's oceans. This regular pattern of the tide rising and falling is known as the tidal cycle.
Does the rain that fall to earth stay in rivers and oceans?
No.
Is the daily rise ans fall of the oceans on earth a tide?
no its not
Why doesn't everything fall off if the world spins?
Gravity keeps everything down to earth.
What causes the Earth's oceans to rise and fall every six hours?
much of hurricanes...cyclone also '''cause''' storm surges
Why do earth's oceans rise and fall in rise?
Earth's oceans rise and fall in tides due to the gravitational pull of the moon. As the moon orbits Earth, its gravitational pull causes bulges in the ocean water, resulting in high tides where the bulges occur and low tides in other areas. The sun also plays a role in tides, reinforcing the gravitational effects of the moon.
What invisible force holds you onto the earth so that you dont simply fall?
Gravity, obviously.
What exerts a strong pull on water in the ocean?
The Moon's gravitational pull on our planet causes the ebb and flow, (rise and fall), of our earth's oceans.
How do tides eccour?
The gravity of the moon pulls very slightly on the oceans to make them rise and fall; the earth's rotation makes this a daily occurrence.
How do oceans control weather on earth?
Oceans control the weather on earth by the evaporation cycle happening. The heat sucks up the water by making it turn it into steam ,then the steam goes up to the clouds then in a matter of time it will fall as rain.
The tides on Earth are an example of?
The tides on Earth are an example of the gravitational relationship between the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun creates bulges in the Earth's oceans, causing the water to rise and fall in a regular pattern known as tides.
What stops the water in oceans from falling out?
The force of gravity keeps the water in the oceans from falling out into space. Additionally, the shape of the Earth's surface, with depressions like ocean basins, also helps contain the water within the boundaries of the oceans.
Can you fall of the earth?
No, you can not fall of the Earth.
