Which force is helping to stay the earth on its orbit?
The space being empty and nothing and being one without any direction or up or down there is no po question of any body falling anywhere from its position .all bodies are in movment in the direction in which they got a thrust intially from the explosion tha caused them to scatter around .since massess have a force of attraction , those small bodies tha are caught in the field of gravity of any bigger mass are subject to two forces , that is its movement in a straight line in the direction of the thrust it got got initially and the force of gravity that pulls it towards the center of the biger body.the distnce between the biger body and the one that is drawn by it being enormous , the smaller one does not fall into the bigger body but moves along the direction of the resultant of the two forces acting on it and this keeps the smaller one in an orbit around the bigger one .the gravityof he sun and the direction of the movement of the earth help to keep it in equillibrium in an orbit arou
