The Moon doesn't exactly float. The Moon actually "falls" towards Earth, meaning that without gravitation, it would continue in a straight line. Its almost circular orbit around Earth (instead of continuing in a straight line) is the direct result of Earth's gravitation.

∙ 13y agoThey dont they are moving in a eliptical orbit around the sun due to the suns gravity pulling on them causing centripetal force, similar to when you spin a ball above your head on string, the slowness of this movement gives the illusion that the planets are floating.

∙ 13y agoPlanets float because space has no gravity. Planets rotate SLOWLY because also because of gravity (and they are so fat) kidding :-).

∙ 15y agoThe moon does have gravity. It's about one-sixth of the gravity we have on earth. You would weigh less if you were on the moon.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agobecause the moon have a very strong gravitational pull so the object cannot stay put, therefore causing it to float

Why does the atmosphere of the earth float above the planets surface?
Because it just does.
Which planets density is lesser than that of water?
Saturn's is.
Which of the jovian planets has a density smaller than water?
I'm pretty sure Saturn would float in water.
Why do the planets spin in a circle and not float away from each other?
because of the gravitational pull each induvidual planet has.
Why do you fall in space instead of float?
You fall in space instead of floating because of the gravitational pull of the earth or other celestial bodies. These planets and stars pull the person toward them.
Can you float around space with your space suit on and land on other planets?
No
Why does the atmosphere of the earth float above the planets surface?
Because it just does.
Why don't planets float around?
because planets are in orbit meaning that it wont leave the orbit due to gravitational pull
Which of the planets has a density less than water and therefore would float?
Saturn
Why do planets float around the sun?
This question is closed until someone can actually answer the question.
Which planets density is lesser than that of water?
Saturn's is.
Why could Saturn be able to float in a planet sized tub?
Saturn would float in a bathtub because it has the lowest density of all the planets. If something has very low density, it floats. Thus explaining why Saturn would float
How many planets float?
Hope I could help ^_^The simple fact is, there is no body of water large enough to float a planet in, but also, some planets are made of gas, and the atmosphere would rip the planet apart, and the ones made of rock would most likely sink.
Which of the jovian planets has a density smaller than water?
I'm pretty sure Saturn would float in water.
What large object float in space above earth to take picture of stars and planets?
Hubble Space Telescope
Why do the planets spin in a circle and not float away from each other?
because of the gravitational pull each induvidual planet has.
What are the componants of a galaxy?
Stars (including our sun) planets, meteors, comets, moons, and dust particles that float around space.
