The Moon orbits the Earth every 27 days!
What is Gravity?
Gravity is a force that pulls things down.
Why Do We Model Orbits?
We model orbits to see how things move.
What orbit modeling Does
It shows how planets move.
It helps us find new stars.
It can help us land on Mars.
It helps us know when to launch rockets.
It shows how moons go around planets.
It helps us learn about space!
More About orbit modeling
Long ago, people looked at the stars. They saw that some stars moved. They wanted to know why. So, they made models to show how stars and planets move. This helped them learn more about space.
Today, we use these models to send rockets to space. We can know where to go and when to leave. This helps us explore new places in space.
In the future, we might find new planets! We can use orbit modeling to see if they can have life. It is exciting to think about what we will find!
