The Moon doesn't exactly float. The Moon actually "falls" towards Earth, meaning that without gravitation, it would continue in a straight line. Its almost circular orbit around Earth (instead of continuing in a straight line) is the direct result of Earth's gravitation.
Planets float in space due to their natural motion around a more massive object, like a star. This motion creates a balanced gravitational interaction that keeps them in orbit, which gives the appearance of floating. The absence of drag or resistance in space allows planets to maintain their orbits indefinitely.
They dont they are moving in a eliptical orbit around the sun due to the suns gravity pulling on them causing centripetal force, similar to when you spin a ball above your head on string, the slowness of this movement gives the illusion that the planets are floating.
Planets float because space has no gravity. Planets rotate SLOWLY because also because of gravity (and they are so fat) kidding :-).
The moon does have gravity. It's about one-sixth of the gravity we have on earth. You would weigh less if you were on the moon.
because the moon have a very strong gravitational pull so the object cannot stay put, therefore causing it to float

Why does the atmosphere of the earth float above the planets surface?
Because it just does.
Which planets density is lesser than that of water?
Saturn's is.
Which of the jovian planets has a density smaller than water?
I'm pretty sure Saturn would float in water.
How do planets float in space without any gravity?
Planets do have gravity, which is the force that keeps them in orbit around stars like the sun. The combination of a planet’s forward motion and the gravitational pull of the star creates a balance where the planet orbits in space without falling into the star or flying off into space.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
Can you float around space with your space suit on and land on other planets?
No

What planet floats?
There are no planets in our solar system that float. All planets, including Earth, orbit around the Sun due to the gravitational force of the Sun.
Which planets density is lesser than that of water?
Saturn's is.
Why do planets float around the sun?
This question is closed until someone can actually answer the question.
Why don't planets float around?
Planets do "float" in space due to the force of gravity, which keeps them in orbit around a star. Their movement is controlled by the balance between their forward inertia and the gravitational pull exerted by the object they are orbiting. Without gravity, planets would not maintain their stable orbits.
What planet would be able to float in water?
There is no known planet that would be able to float in water, as planets are much larger and denser than water. However, hypothetical lightweight planets made of less dense materials like ice or certain gases could potentially float in a giant body of water if it existed on a massive scale.
Why could Saturn be able to float in a planet sized tub?
Saturn would float in a bathtub because it has the lowest density of all the planets. If something has very low density, it floats. Thus explaining why Saturn would float
How many planets float?
Hope I could help ^_^The simple fact is, there is no body of water large enough to float a planet in, but also, some planets are made of gas, and the atmosphere would rip the planet apart, and the ones made of rock would most likely sink.
Which of the jovian planets has a density smaller than water?
I'm pretty sure Saturn would float in water.
What large object float in space above earth to take picture of stars and planets?
Hubble Space Telescope
What are the componants of a galaxy?
Stars (including our sun) planets, meteors, comets, moons, and dust particles that float around space.
