What is formed by combining forward motion and freefall?
Orbit
How many weeks or days does it takes for the moon to leave its orbit?
There is no evidence that the moon has ever left its orbit since it formed, and there is no reason to expect that it will leave its orbit anytime in the forseeable future.
How is a orbit in space formed?
an object that moves fast enough can orbit another body in space. As a minimum, to orbit the Earth you need to travel 30,000 kph at 100 km altitude.
Who created a model of he solar system in which all the planets orbit the sun?
Nicolaus Copernicus formed the idea of a heliocentric universe, where all planets orbit around the sun.
Where did earth form?
Earth probably formed by accretion near the same orbit it is in now. Gravitational interaction from other bodies probably caused it to drift to its current orbit.
How much time dose Neptune orbit the sun?
It has been orbiting the sun since it was formed.
When a large object collided with earth debris from collision was ejected into orbit and initially formed a?
the moon

the moon
How galaxy came into existence?
The galaxy was formed from the attraction of stars which in our galaxy orbit a massive black hole.
Did the planet Mercury have a moon?
It may have captured or formed moons in the distant past, but none remain. The closeness of Mercury's orbit to the Sun would likely prevent moons from maintaining a stable orbit.
What is formed from evaporation or precipitation of seawater?
When sea water evaporates it leaves the salt behind and takes the water into orbit
Is an orbit formed by combining forward motion and free fall?
Kind of, yes. It's a balance between orbital velocity, which is the high speed relative to the ground, and gravity, which is the force keeping the object in orbit.
