Question

As Earth travels around the sun, what force keeps it from flying out into space?

a
the gravitational pull of the sun
b
the gravitational pull of the moon
c
Earth’s own gravitational pull
d
the gravitational pull of both the sun and the moon

Answer 1

Answer:

gravitational force

Explanation:

The Sun's gravitational force is like the tetherball rope, in that it constantly pulls Earth toward it. Earth, however, like the tetherball, is traveling forward at a high rate of speed, which balances the gravitational effect. This means that the planet neither flies out into space nor falls into the Sun
