What else can I help you with?
How would the moon travel if it was not for the pull of earths gravity?
It would orbit around one of the other planets, orbit around the sun, or become part of the Asteroid or Kiper Belt.
What keeps planets in orbit in your solar system?
Planets in our solar system are kept in orbit by the gravitational pull of the sun. The balance between the centrifugal force of the planet's movement and the gravitational force of the sun keeps them in a stable orbit.
What appears to move backwards among the stars?
Planets do that, during part of their orbit.
Part of Pluto's orbit is inside the orbit of?
Pluto's unusual orbit causes it to travel inside Neptune's orbit.
Why do all the planets in our solar system orbit the sun?
The Sun has such a gigantic mass that it dominates the nearby volume of space.Not all bodies do orbit the Sun; there are comets that get pulled in by the Sun's gravity but then leave the solar system (comest on hyperbolic paths).Many smaller bodies also orbit their parent planets (we then call them moons).What else could the planets orbit around? Part of the definition of a planet is that it orbits the Sun! So planets by definition orbit the Sun! If they did not orbit the Sun they would not be called planets!

What do planets do?
Planets orbit around a star, like our Sun, and are an integral part of a solar system. They vary in size, composition, and atmosphere, with some capable of supporting life. Planets also have gravitational influence on other objects in their vicinity.
In what atmosphereic layer are the planets?
Planets are not a part of the earth's atmosphere. They orbit the sun as the earth does, at great distances from the earth. Several of them have atmospheres of their own.
Who said Electrons travel in orbits like planets around the sun?
This statement was made by Niels Bohr as part of his atomic model, which suggested that electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in specific energy levels, much like planets orbiting the sun.
Why are all eight planets considered to be part of the solar system?
Because they all orbit the sun
What are three ways that the outer and inner planets are alike?
Shape, rotation-direction, and orbit-direction.
Is Make Make part of your solar system?
Yes, makemake is one of the five dwarf planets in orbit around our sun. It is beyond Neptune's orbit.
