what process hold the earth in a spherical shape,or holds us in the form and shape we exist in?

Question

Why dont atoms go free out of our body?

Answer 1

i dunno maybe gravity?

Answer 2

There are two different forces at work in your question. For the earth and other large masses in space, gravity holds the mass together in a more or less spherical shape.

For all the life forms and objects on the planet, they are held together by atomic forces that are much stronger than the force of gravity. If they weren't, we would all just collapse to the ground as a pool of mush under the gravitational pull of the earth.

Answer 3

There are two different concepts here. The answer to the first is, that it is the heat energy within a solar mass that causes it to assume its shape. The planets and our sun are round. Were any of these solar masses to have no heat energy within, then they could be formed into any shape and they would remain that way. It is the heat energy within solar masses that forms their gravitational field - c2 = E/m. It is obvious that this force is one of a particular manner of energy, and were this energy to increase or decrease so, also, would the end product.

The second part has to do with the manner in which electrons share in the bonding of molecules. It is because of this bonding that we do not come apart.

Answer 4

Gravity in center of earth pulling equally from every angle creates our spherical planet.
As far as the form and shape we exist in, someone else may come up with that answer. I don't know.

Answer 5

Atoms are kept whitin molecules by covalent bonds. These are difficult thing to understand since it's based on quantum theory. Basically, electrons like to be in groups of eight so atosm with a number of electrons that is not a multiplum an eight will bind itself to other atoms to share electrons.

Molecules are kept inside cells by means of cells walls, which are made of fat. They are kept together by the same forces that also maintain fat balls in water - the bipolarity of water molecules make water and fat repell each other. This sounds complicated but basically it's static electricity, the same force that keeps a baloon to your hair after you haved rubbed it.

The Earth is (like all planets and starts) kept together by gravity.

Answer 6

Gravity. It is also the result of the physical process of superheated cases condensing in a vacuum.

Actually, the earth is elliptical. It has a longer radius around the equator than it does the poles. This is a result of the forces induced by the earth's spinning about its axis.

Answer 7

Gravity naturally wants to pull all the matter together as closely as possible. A sphere is the shape that allows every molecule to get closer to every other molecule than any other shape would allow.

Answer 8

Ties between molecules and attractive force between atoms.
