Now tell me what does the moon do?
Uh the moon orbits the earth. I know
it's like let's let's do an orbit. Can
we do an orbit?
Okay. So go like this. I'm guessing I'm
guessing around and around
if you will.
You spinning it.
Are you going to
Doesn't it stay? Isn't it kind of like
the same face is facing the whole time?
Right. So,
kind of. But
should I be doing like
You have to twist it as well.
You have to twist it a little bit as it
goes around.
That's it. Exactly.
Sure. Sure.
Booyah.
All right. Now, I want to know why the
moon does that.
Um, was it the gravitational pull of the
Earth? Cuz it's like a floaty rock in
space and the Earth goes, "Come here."
But then doesn't ever come there. It
just kind of goes around and round and
round. The Earth puts a gravitational
force on the moon. The two graval masses
because you've got the Earth's gravity,
it being the greater object, is pulling
the uh the moon's size uh into its
orbit.
It's obviously got some kind of
attraction to the Earth.
What kind of attraction?
Are we gravitational? I'm guessing.
I mean, I'm just trying to check it.
You're telling me that the moon is
attracted to the Earth?
Yes.
Yeah,
I guess so. Yeah, but it keeps spinning
around cuz it's moving at a certain
speed. So, it never actually reaches the
Earth. It just keeps going.
