Will Earth Fall Into The Sun ?
Hi Guys, today I will tell you the answer of the question that I asked in my post called 'How Does Gravity Work ?'
WILL EARTH FALL INTO THE SUN ?
If you have not seen my post 'How Does Gravity Work' then you can click the link below
From the space-time fabric you made you might have noticed that the marble falls back to the obect, then will earth also fall into the sun ?
To know this we should learn about two forces that acts on a object with circular motion :-
1) Centripetal Force
2) Centrifugal Force
I will tell you about these 2 forces in my next post for a clear understanding.
For now you only need to know that as the speed increases the time taken to collapse into the object will also increase and at a speed the marble will never collapse.
And the speed of earth is 67,000 miles per hour means more than the speed of the marble, so earth will stay in a fixed circular path.
If the speed of the earth goes higher then the earth will escape sun's gravitational force and fly of to space.
I will tell you about the centripetal and centrifugal force and I will explain to you why does earth does not collapse into the sun with the help of these forces.
