It is the absence of air (vacuum) that creates the floatiness of the Planets. I luv science. Just keeping it real. |

Perhaps I should be more clear. Floating in space, like those people in orbit around our planet, is an illusion. The object, take the ISS, has enough velocity perpendicular to the earth that as gravity tugs at it, the forward velocity causes the arc of the path at it falls at 32 ft/sec2 to resemble the curvature of the earth, therefore continuing that path, ad infinitum, in orbit around the earth. A perpetual fall. This is a rather simple expanation leaving out the centrifugal forces at work that give a terminal velocity to the fall. Clear as mud? I love science, too. Just keeping you honest!

Quoting: Maguyver"as gravity tugs at it" Gravity is a constant force, so, then, this constant force "tugging" at the ISS would cause the ISS to spiral closer and closer to where Gravity is, the Surface of the Earth.

I luv science. Just keeping it real. The velocity and momentum along with centrifugal force oppose gravity creating a nice balance so those nifty satellites that tell your Garmin Nuvi when you should turn stay up in space and do not crash into your roof.
