Inertia is what pushes us to the opposite side as to a car turning a
corner. The Earth is moving at 1000000000miles/hr around the sun, ina
circle. If the sun was to just disappear and earth suddenly just stand
still,
- would everyone on earth keep heading in the direction that the earth was
going?
- would the earth just keep going forward in the direction it was going
when the sun disapeard?
- or would the gravitational field of the earth spining on it's axis
provide enough gravity to keep everyone still on earth, but the earth -
stays still?
- keeps going in the same direction as it was heading when the
sun disappeared?
