After all, on what does the earth rest, which is crooked but does not fall?
You must have wondered sometime that how the spinning earth keeps moving on the same path but why it never falls? Let's know the answer.
The question is interesting that why the earth remains tilted, yet it does not fall? Mythological stories tell us that the earth rests on the hood of Sheshnag. However, according to the answer given by the people, this happens due to the gravitational force working between two bodies.
Newton's law states that the more an object weighs, the more its gravitational force will be. The Sun is the outermost body in the solar system, so it is because of its gravity that the Earth is pulled towards it and keeps revolving around it.
In simple terms, we can understand that the earth is tilted towards the sun. Since there is no external pressure on it, it keeps revolving around the sun in this position due to the gravitational force of the sun. As long as no external force is applied on it, it will keep moving straight at the same speed and its balance will not be disturbed. This is the reason why our earth keeps rotating at the same speed and does not fall.
