Why doesn't the Earth fall?

    In order for the Earth not to fall on the Sun, its speed, inertia and gravity of the Sun must be balanced - the Earth falls on the Sun, but misses. It's the same with the ISS. It's official. But there are greasy spots. Where the fish was wrapped) In this case, the Earth should be weightless. . In the Kingdom of Denmark, it's always like this. .

    Because it is held by the Sun's orbit hand. It is as if it embraces the Earth so that it does not fall out of its orbit and warms the Earth with its kindness and warmth.

    The earth falls around the sun, the sun around a galaxy, the galaxy around a black hole. the ISS station falls around the earth, there is no weightlessness as such. this is just a name. When objects fall at the same speed they are balanced, and there is the same feeling of weightlessness.

    "So is the earth flat or round?» A rhetorical question that scientists have been trying to answer for centuries. It would seem that all the dots over i have long been placed and any child will say that the earth is round. But this was not the case. The world was once again divided into two camps. The first believe that the earth is round (most of this theory is familiar, familiar and does not need proof) The second claim that we live on a disk with the edges raised up, which covers the dome. In the center is the North pole, and the South pole does not exist at all. This is a kind of ice wall that protects us. To adhere to a particular point of view is a matter for everyone personally. The main thing is that only weighty arguments and evidence form the basis of Your worldview.

    If you mean "what will happen if the earth stops rotating on its axis" - well, it will be bad :). f the Earth abruptly stops its rotation (and it rotates at a speed of 1670 km / h), then all small objects (in this context, a skyscraper is a small object) that are on its surface and are not bolted to the continental rocks of the earth's crust will fly into space under the influence of centrifugal force. Everything else will be covered by a cyclopean tsunami that continues to move along the inertia of the water of the oceans. If the Earth stops slowly enough so that the process does not cause global destruction, and at the same time quickly enough so that a complete stop occurs within a few generations, the result will still not be much better than a sharp stop. The side of the planet that is always facing the Sun will warm up to huge temperatures, while the shadow side will be dominated by eternal night and infernal cold. Life will only be possible on a narrow strip of the "twilight zone" between the day and night sides of the planet. And then not for long, because such a difference in temperature between the two hemispheres and the" flattening " of the planet at the poles due to the lack of centrifugal force from rotation will cause huge volcanic activity, and increased doses of cosmic radiation due to the missing magnetic field will finish off the few life that still remains. . Makes you think about the fragility of the world we live in, doesn't it? :).

    What are trees for, gentlemen? "To climb to the top and sit!"What are rats for, gentlemen? - to turn them by the tail on a thread! In the same way, the Earth revolves around the Sun on an invisible thread, which is called "Universal gravity".

    The moon is moving at a speed of about 1 km / sec. This speed is enough to fly around the Earth, but not to fly out of orbit. The moon is affected by the force of attraction of the Earth and the Sun, If the moon was affected only by the attraction of the Earth, it would gradually decrease, move in a spiral to the center. But the Sun also attracts the moon and it alternately approaches and moves away from the Earth, that is, moves in an elliptical orbit.

    Read the comments. Funny. Atheists are having fun. Do you need a serious answer, or are you kidding me too? Okay, I'll take a chance on the cons. God cannot descend to earth because of his essence. "He is in everything, and everything is in Him. " It is constantly present anywhere in the world, it is absolute. It also defines this world. He will not" appear " in this world either, an atomic explosion is nothing compared to such a "phenomenon". It can appear before a person in the form of an allegory, which He did in the old Testament (the burning Bush, the message to Balthazar, etc. ). And why should He come down here, He knows this world better than we do, this world is His creation and exists according to His laws. Something like that.
