Earth is gravitationally attracted to?
Earth is gravitationally attracted to every smidgen of mass in the universe, including the lint in my pocket, and the tiniest bacterium in the farthest galaxy, if any.
Are people gravitationally attracted to each other?
Yes, however the force is so minute that it cannot over power the static friction of our contact with the ground. But if you left two bodies in space next to each other (assuming nothing else interferes), they will eventually bump into each other.
Can gravity be blocked?
No. There is no gravity 'insulator'. If you tried to build a wall between you and the Earth to block the Earth's gravity from reaching you, it would not only have no effect on the Earth's gravity reaching you, but the gravitational force on you would be even stronger, because you would also be attracted to the mass of the wall. Every two masses are gravitationally attracted toward each other, and that's all there is to it. It makes no difference what's in between them.
The form of energy which keeps everything on the ground?
This is the law of gravitation-two masses m and M attract each other, but the earth is so much bigger than anything built or moving on it, that such objects are attracted to the earth, without the earth being noticeably attracted to the objects. Therefore all objects are attracted to the earth and would if in freefall be accelerated at the rate of 9.81 meters/sec2 or 32.2 ft/sec2. towards the earth.
How is the energy from the sun transferred to earth?
The energy from the sun is transferred to Earth through electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of visible light. This energy travels through the vacuum of space and reaches Earth, where it is absorbed by the atmosphere, land, and oceans, warming the planet and driving various processes like photosynthesis and weather patterns.
Earth is gravitationally attracted to?
Earth is gravitationally attracted to every smidgen of mass in the universe, including the lint in my pocket, and the tiniest bacterium in the farthest galaxy, if any.
Why don't we get attracted towards the gravitational force of 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.
Where there is no gravity in space then why planets revolving around the sun in a fix orbit?
There is gravity in space. Planets are gravitationally attracted to the sun, which is why they remain in orbit around the sun. There is a phenomenon that we see in orbit that is sometimes called weightlessness, although that is a misleading term. Free fall is a more accurate term. An orbiting object (or astronaut) is still being gravitationally attracted to the Earth, but because of the orbital velocity, does not actually fall to the Earth but orbits around it instead. Instead of falling downward, such objects are effectively falling in a circle (or elliptical path). They seem to be weightless but they do still have weight.
How energy is transferred from the sun to the earth?
The sun transfers energy to earth gravitationally and electrically. Energy Gravitationally = - GmeMs/r, Electric Power is transferred by Solar flux S= 4/3 Kwatts/m^2. This produces around 88E21 Joules per day.
Do you see signs of things being gravitationally attracted to other things on earth?
Aside from the obvious attraction between everyday objects and the planet, one cannot easily observe the gravitational attraction between objects on the planet's surface because nothing has enough mass for the force to be noticeable.
What makes the earth have gravity?
All masses "have gravity". Since the Earth has mass, it attracts any other mass gravitationally.
Our atmosphere is attracted by earth's what?
our atmosphere is attacted by earth
What does gravitationally mean?
Gravitationally may refer to the type of force exerted on a body of mass, this force the force of gravity. For instance if I were to say that orange (I will say orange to avoid parading all over Newtons work) was gravitationally pulled to the ground I would be saying the force of gravity that the earth exerts on the orange pulled it to the ground.
Does water flow downwards?
Firstly, there is no such thing as "downwards" - items of lesser mass are simply attracted to the central point of items of larger mass - therefore a liquid of small mass is attacted by the gravitional force of the much larger mass of the earth. As we too are so attracted we describe this attraction as "downwards", even though we are just being attracted gravitationally to the centre of our planet.
What are the layers that form by gases in the air that are attracted to Earth called?
The layer of gases attracted to earth is atmosphere. It is a big layer.
Why are you attracted to the earth?
Attraction to the Earth is caused by the force of gravity.
Why meteoroids fall into the earth?
They are attracted by the gravitational attraction of the earth.
