Explain how inertia and gravity combine to keep earth in its orbit.

Gravity and inertia are important for satellites to continue in orbit. Newton's studies led to the conclusion that inertia and gravity keep the Earth orbiting the Sun and in turn, the moon orbits the Earth.

Explanation:

Gravity is the force of attraction that is exerted by one mass on another, in the case of the moon, it is continually attracted to Earth. On the other hand, the force of inertia keeps it moving in a straight line, pushing it into space. It is thanks to the gravity that the moon stays in its orbit, since the straight movement produced by inertia would take it out of its course. Gravity slows and accommodates the moon in relation to the curvature of the Earth.
