Question

The moon orbits around the earth.Which of the following keeps the moon traveling in the same path each time it orbits the earth?

A.energ from the surroundings
B.Pull of gravity between the moon and the earth
C.orbits in space are pushing the moon towards the earth
D.the winds of the earth force the moon to orbit in the same path- i think the answer is so wrong because the earths winds does not force the moon to orbit in the same path over and over and over and over again

Gravity between the moon and Earth provide the force that keeps the Moon in orbit.

Answer 1

pull of gravity between the moon and the earthh

Answer 2

b. because the gravity of the pull is between the moon and the earth.

Correct! The correct answer is B. Pull of gravity between the moon and the earth. The moon remains in the same path each time it orbits the earth because of the gravitational force between the two objects. Gravity is a force of attraction that acts between any two objects with mass, and it gets stronger as the distance between the objects gets smaller. In the case of the moon and the earth, the gravitational pull from the earth keeps the moon in its orbit around the earth. This force of gravity acts as a centripetal force, which constantly pulls the moon towards the earth, preventing it from flying off into space. As a result, the moon follows a curved path and remains in a stable orbit around the earth.
