How does the earth still spin when gravity ceases to exist?

The earth doesn't spin because of gravity, and gravity has not ceased to exist.


Does the earth's spin keep the gravity pull here?

No. It is a myth that the spinning of the earth somehow causes or enhances gravity. A planet's gravity is a direct result of its mass, not its spin. The spin of the earth in fact counters gravity to an extremely small but measurable degree.


If earth stops to rotate what happens to gravity?

Nothing, the force of gravity is not affected by Earth's rotation. However measurement of WEIGHT would change.


Why don't you spin out in space during rotation of the earth?

Earth's gravity keeps you drawn in toward the ground.


What phenomena are the results of gravity between the moon and the earth?

Tides are the result of lunar (and solar) gravity.


Does how fast earth spins effect gravity?

There is no effect to gravity due to earth fast spins because gravity is other thing and spin of earth is different thing. So we could not compare to each other. Gravity is made of mass of earth and spin of earth is due to sun, as earth revolving around the sun.


meaning of gravity?

The word 'gravity' comes from Classical Greece, and means 'weight'. We use the words, grave,( as in serious), or in ( a burial plot), Graving Dock, ; where a ship is allowed to go out out water, and be its own weight. A person is said to have 'gavitas' if they are serious. In astronomical terms, gravity; is the 'weight' of attraction between two, or more, astronomical bodies. The Earth attracts gravitational pull between itself and the Moon , and Sun. Similarly, The Sun does the same in the opposite direction. to the Earth and the Moon. The Moon also has gravitational attraction which it influences the Erth, and Sun. It is like a three-way pull. The Sun having the strongest pull, because it is the most massive. The strength of gravity is generally seen to be , the greater the mass/weight, the stronger the attraction. The analogy is ; think of yourself and a small child playing ' swing around' , whilst holding hands. Since you are bigger, more massive, you can pull the small child further, and more strongly. However, you can also feel the small child pulling on you, but less strongly !!!! The same goes on in space, with astronomic bodies. Hope that helps!!!!!


Does the earth's moon spin on its axis?

Definitely yes. But very slowly.Additional answerOne side is heavier than the other and is pulled by gravity to always face the Earth.


Why do whirlpools spin?

becaus its gravity spin it counter clocckwise


Help me write a sentence about the force of gravity on the earth?

Gravity keeps trees from floating about.


When the sun spins is that why earth orbits in a circle?

The Sun doesn't spin, the earth is in constant rotation around the sun because of the force of gravity acting upon it.add actually the Sun does spin - about 25 days for a rotation at its equator. That is a speed of about 7000 km/h.(compared with the earth's equatorial speed of about 1500 km/h.)But as above, gravity is the controlling force.


Where is the earths center of gravity and why it spin as it moves through space?

The earth's center of gravity is the center of the earth, or the center of the mass with the mass being the earth. The earth spins as it moves through space on account of sun's gravitational forces and because there is nothing in space to get in the way or stop the earth from rotating.
