The earths gravity keeps the planets circling the sun?
The Sun's gravity keeps the planets orbiting the Sun.
What pulls the planets to the sun?
The sun's gravity pulls the planets.
Where does the gravity that holds the planets in their orbits come from?
The gravity that keeps the planets in orbit is the sun's gravity, which is a product of the sun's mass.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
Why do the planets stay in there orbits as they revolve around the sun?
because of the gravity the sun has and also the planets have gravity turning around the sun
What forces holds the earth and other planets in the Sun's orbit?
Simple. Gravity! The planets are dragged in by the gravity of the sun.
How does the sun have gravity?
The sun has all the gravity to keep the planets a certain distance from the sun.
Why do the plantes orbit the sun?
why do the PLANETS orbit the sun? Because of gravity, the sun has loads of gravity so it holds all the planets in space.
How does inertia and gravity combine to make the planets orbit the sun?
The sun's gravity is pulling the planets toward it and the planets inertia keeps them moving forward
Are planets held in place by gravity?
Yes they are the sun has gravity that holds the planets in place.
What force holds inner planets tightly to the sun?
Gravity :) (Gravity also holds the outer planets tightly to the Sun.)
Is it true that the closer the planets are to the sun then the less gravity the planets have?
No. The surface gravity of a planet depends on its size and mass, not its distance from the sun.
