The earth and the sun are attracted toward each other by gravitational force.
That's the reason that the earth remains in orbit around the sun, and doesn't
go flying off on a tangent.
No. It is not "the Earth" that is tilted away or towards the Sun, it is the hemisphere in which you live. And if you have summer, that basically means that your hemisphere is tilted TOWARDS the Sun.
Just like every other bit of mass in the universe, an astronaut in space is attracted by gravitational forces toward the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, and every other body in the solar system, as well as toward the other astronauts traveling with him. The astronaut's motions are the result of the combination of all of these gravitational forces. Don't forget that an astronaut on a "space walk", floating "motionless" outside the Space Shuttle or the International Space Station, is still in orbit around the Earth, and also in orbit around the Sun. All of that is the result of gravitational forces between him and the Earth, and between him and the Sun.
That is not correct.Objects on Earth are attracted to Earth, AND they are attracted to one another. The magnitude of their attraction to one another is usually quite small, due to their small size.
South Pole of another Magnet or towards the South Pole of the Earth
No, the sun does not move westward towards the Earth. Instead, the apparent westward movement of the sun across the sky is due to the Earth's rotation on its axis from west to east. As the Earth rotates, different parts of its surface experience sunlight, creating the illusion of the sun moving across the sky. In reality, the sun is at the center of our solar system, and the planets, including Earth, orbit around it.
because people have a smaller mass than that of earth, they are attracted into earth's gravitational field. Theoretically, Earth is moving closer to the sun every day, so we technically are moving towards the sun.
The planet Earth, and everything on the Earth including us, is in orbit around the sun; so yes, we are gravitationally attracted toward the sun, but we don't move closer to the sun because that attraction is counter balanced by the angular momentum that keeps us in orbit.
Half of the Earth is always towards the Sun.
The moon orbits Earth because it is held there by Earth's gravity. The moon is going fast enough that it won't hit Earth, but at the same time is being pulled back in at the same rate it flies away. The same is true for why Earth itself doesn't fly into the sun. the sun is MUCH MUCH MUCH further away than the earth is, so it is attracted to earth because the difference in size and gravity favour the earth. If it was to be attracted to the sun, the sun would need to be bigger or closer (both of which it is doing at aconstant rate, but very gradually over a long perios of time)
More space dust is attracted to the Sun than to Earth because the Sun's gravity is much stronger due to its larger mass. The Sun's gravitational pull can reach and capture particles from farther away in space. Earth's gravity is not as strong as the Sun's, which is why less space dust is drawn towards our planet.
Earth orbiting the sun is a planet that is attracted to a star.
Yes. The earth and the sun are mutually attracted by their gravitational fields. Which is why the earth stays in orbit round the sun
Humans on Earth don't feel attracted to the Sun's gravitational force because the gravitational force between two objects depends on their masses and distance apart. Since humans have much smaller masses compared to the Earth, the gravitational force towards the Sun is negligible in comparison to Earth's gravitational pull. Additionally, the Earth's gravitational force keeps humans firmly grounded to the planet's surface.
The Earth is not a magnet that may attract a body to the ground. The force of gravity of the Earth is balanced by the force of gravity of the other planets and the Sun. So you can walk. ( Einstein's famous equation.)
Yes. The Earth and then Sun pull each other towards each other.
The earth would be attracted by the sun, and as it came closer the sun, the earth would melt. The earth would probably collide with the sun before or after it would melt.
If you leave the Earth traveling towards the Sun you will come to Venus first. Mercury and Venus are the two planets between the Sun and the Earth.
