Why Do the Planets Float in Space?
I explain the reason.
In physics, nothing can fall or float, depending on the ball of gravity. It will not be possible if you want to jump or float an object. Because we will not be able to cope with the gravitational force of the earth.
If you think about space, there is no such thing as a good space. So you can’t say that an object in space is falling or flying up.
Falling here can mean whether a planet is falling on it due to the attraction of another big planet or star.
For convenience, I am referring to the planet as an object. There can be two states of matter in space:
1.The solar system belongs
2.Extraterrestrial solar system
There is no effect of gravity on any object outside the solar system (interstellar).
According to Newton’s 1st law:
“When no force is applied from outside, the stationary object is stationary and the moving object continues to move in a straight path at a balanced speed.”
Then the objects outside the solar system will remain stable forever. If it is moving in a certain direction, it will continue to move at that speed until the object falls into the gravitational ball of another object.
Now imagine what is happening to the objects or planets, stars that are inside us, or any other galaxy. Why is one centered on the other?
According to Newton’s law of gravitation :
“Every particle in this universe attracts each other and the value of this force of attraction is proportional to the product of the mass of the two particles, the distance between them is disproportionate to the square, and the force acting on the centerline of the two objects.”
Here F is the force of attraction and supposes M1 is the mass of the earth and M2 is the mass of the sun. R is the distance between the sun and the earth.
Now as the mass of either of the two increases, so does the gravity, and as the distance increases, so does the gravity.
I take the sun and the earth as two objects. These two objects are trying to pull each other towards themselves. The greater the mass, the greater the force.
Now you tell a child younger than you to pull a rope with one head, you will pull the other head. Then you will see that the child will not be able to ignore your pull because you are too strong.
Now, like the earth’s own motion, you tell the child to move forward, he will keep moving around you. Because your mass is greater than his, so even if he wants to go ahead you have to go around.
This is how the objects or planets in the solar system revolve. He who has more mass stands and objects of less mass surround him. Again, an object of heavier mass also orbits an object of heavier mass. As the moon orbits the earth, the earth orbits the sun, the sun orbits the “Sagittarius A *” supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
Now, according to Newton’s law of gravitation, objects outside the solar system also have gravitational forces towards each other or towards a galaxy. Yes of course there is. The force of gravity acts up to an infinite (∞) distance.
But the problem is that the force is proportional to the square of the distance between them. That is, as the distance increases, the force will decrease. And this reduction rate will continue to increase.
That is, the greater the distance, the more the force decreases.
At one point this force decreases so much that it becomes very insignificant to the mass of the object.
Just as a spoonful of water from the sea does not reduce anything in the sea, so this force of gravity is of no use!
