No, it's the Sun's gravitational pull that keeps the planets in their orbits.

Each planet has its own graviational field and it if it strong enough it retains the planet's atmosphere.

What makes the planets move?

The planets move in their orbits around the sun due to a combination of momentum from their initial formation and the gravitational pull of the sun. This gravitational attraction keeps them in motion and prevents them from flying off into space.

Terrestrail planets move more rapidly in their orbits than the jovian planets because terrestrail planets are?

Terrestrial planets are closer to the sun than gas giants, which means they have shorter orbital periods. This leads to terrestrial planets moving more rapidly in their orbits compared to gas giants. It is a result of the gravitational pull from the sun being stronger on planets closer to it, causing them to move faster.


What between dust particles make the planets go around the sun?

The planets orbit the sun due to the gravitational force between the sun and the planets. This force arises from the mass of the sun, which is significantly larger than that of the planets, creating a gravitational pull that keeps them in orbit. The initial formation of the solar system involved dust particles and gas collapsing under gravity, eventually forming the sun and planets, which now move in elliptical paths around the sun. Thus, while dust particles contributed to the formation of the planets, their orbiting behavior is predominantly governed by gravity.


Can you move around on Jupiter?

no you can not move around on Jupiter because it is a gas planet.
