The moon's orbit around planet Earth is related to an apple falling from a tree
because when an apple falls from a tree, it spins as it goes down to the ground.
That apple has fallen from a branch which launches it off to the ground giving it
energy. As it spins, the energy is still alive in it and once it stops spinning and hits
the floor, it will bounce and then that energy will be gone. The moon's orbit is
similar to that because the moon orbits around the Earth. The Earth is the branch
which is the reason why the moon orbits around the Earth. That's why we have
morning and night of course. So the Earth is the moon's branch and so the moon is
"falling" and spinning as it goes down. The moon revolves around the Earth and it
spins on its axis. That is how the moon's orbit around Earth is related to an apple
falling from a tree.

Answer #2:

One is tempted to move the answer above into the category that deals with
the relationship between rainbows and unicorns, but I'll steadfastly resist it.

The falling apple and the orbiting moon are both responding in the same way to
the same force, and their motions are both perfectly explained and predicted by
the same deceptively simple formula for the gravitational force, presented by
Newton more than 250 years ago.

The branch, the spin of the apple, the ground, the floor, the bounce, the spin of
the moon, the spin of the Earth, morning, and night, are all enrolled in a school of
red herrings. None of them has anything to do with the question, or with its answer.

Why does food float in space?

Because it is falling toward Earth at the same rate as everything around it. See Related Links, below.


What was significant about Newton's theory?

Isaac Newton's Law of Gravity was significant, in that he claimed his Theoiry of Gravity, applied to the apple falling from a tree, the moon falling and the earth falling around the sun. He claimed that his Theory applied throughout the universe! A Universal law of Physics.


Why does the moon revolve around the earth instead of falling like an apple?

In a sense, it is falling toward earth, but its orbital velocity causes it to miss from moment to moment. The moon is in a stable orbit around the earth, and that is due in part to the gravitational pull between the earth and moon, and in part to the moon's own velocity as it travels in its orbit. If we could put some unimaginably powerful rockets on the moon that would push sideways (not down toward earth) in such a way that the moon's orbital velocity would slow a great deal, then the moon WOULD fall to earth, and it would cause more trouble than a falling apple.


Newton's law of universal gravitation is so named because it?

Newton believed that his gravity pervaded the whole Universe, thus from the falling apple to the falling moon, to the falling earth and beyond.


When apple falls towards the earth the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is it true If yes why earth's motion is noticeable?

No, it is not true that the Earth moves up to meet the apple when it falls towards the Earth. The Earth's mass is much greater than the apple's, so the effect of the apple falling towards the Earth is not noticeable in comparison to the Earth's massive size. The Earth's motion is not easily observable due to its large size and the force of gravity keeping everything in place.


Which force governs the motion of an apple falling from a tree?

The force that governs the motion of an apple falling from a tree is gravity. Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects with mass, and it pulls the apple towards the center of the Earth, causing it to fall.


What is the action reaction pair involved when an apple falls to the ground?

The action is the apple exerting a force on the Earth due to gravity, causing it to accelerate downward. The reaction is the Earth exerting an equal and opposite force on the apple, preventing it from falling indefinitely.


Is the moon falling from the sky?

No, the moon is not falling from the sky. It orbits around the Earth due to gravitational forces.


What is the unbalanced force that affects the motion of a falling apple and the moon?

Newton knew that there was an unbalanced force acting on the moon and the falling apple through sheer logic. He realized that things only went down. The idea that what goes up must come down proved there was a scientific reason for this. He also realized there was a pressure or force in between objects that were standing still and whatever it was they were sitting on.The legend is that Newton made the connection between the two questions when he watched a falling apple. He knew that unbalanced forces are needed to change the motion of objects by changing the velocity of the objects. He concluded that an unbalanced force on the moon kept the moon moving circularly around Earth. Newton said that these two forces are actually the same force- a force that he called (gravity)
