if the moon attracts the earth why does the Earth not move towards the sun
Answers
hay sister you might have confused in asking this question because earth really moves around sun
so why other conditions
you might be asking .....
Why does the Moon not revolve around the Sun directly?
The simple answer is that the sun's gravity produces the same acceleration on both the Earth and the Moon. The Sun is pulling both of them along, but they are falling together.
You may imagine two skydiver jumping out of a plane at the same time (and we'd better ignore air resistance). They are subjected to gravitational forces from the Earth that vastly larger than the forces between them, but that doesn't rip them away from each other because they both experience the same acceleration.
this might help you
just help help me for a favor, select this answer as brain list answer ....
Answer:
The moon attracts the earth with the same gravitational force as the earth attracts the moon. ... Since the mass of earth is very large, the acceleration produced is negligible. Therefore, the earth does not move towards the moon.
