How does gravity between the sun and planets control the path the planets make around the sun?
The sizes of the Sun and planets determine the strength of gravitational pull of the planets on each other and the Sun. The Sun's mass is so great that the planets can't escape from the Sun's pull and so as the planets are moving by the Sun pulls them back into orbit.
What gives planets an orbit?
the gravitational pull from the sun keeps the planets and other small things in the orbit of the sun.(;
How does the sun hold the planets in orbit?
The Sun's gravity is trying to pull the planets towards it. But the planets have their own velocities and all the Sun's gravitational attraction is needed to stop the planets moving away from the Sun. The result is that the planets orbit the Sun.
The suns gravitational pull causes the earth and other planets to the sun?
Yes, the sun's gravitational pull is what keeps Earth and the other planets in our solar system in orbit around it. This gravitational force is what maintains the planets' paths and prevents them from moving off into space.
How does the earth and other planets go around the sun?
gravitational pull
Why do the planets stay in the same orbit the whole time?
Because the gravitational pull of the Sun - keeps them there ! The planets are always trying to fly out into space, but the outward pull of the planets is counteracted by the gravity the sun exerts on them. If the sun's gravity stopped - all the planets would zoom off into space !
Why is the sun center in solar system?
Because the sun has a larger gravitational pull then the other planets.
Why does the planets orbit the sun?
Because the Sun has a great gravitational pull on the planets. Without the Sun the planets would travel in straight lines (ignoring other gravitational forces in the Universe.)
What would happen if the sun loses its gravitational pull on the planets?
The planets would slowly start to randomly go in directions, eventually colliding into the sun, or other planets.
Why don't planets bump into each other?
because the gravatational pull from the sun and other planets keep the planets going in a circler motion and not bumping into each other.Answerbecause the gravatational pull from the sun and other planets keep the planets going in a circler motion and not bumping into each other. the planets each have defined Elliptical, not circular, orbits that remain constant because of gravitational pull of the sun and from each other. Pluto does have such an elliptical orbit that for a time it was closer than Neptune, but they will never collide with their current paths.
Do planets orbit around the sun?
YES!!! Together with their sattelites(moons). The nine planets that orbit the Sun from nearest to Sun to furthest are; - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Asteroid Belt , Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. With the exception of Mercury and Venus, which have no sattelites, all the other planets have sattelites, which partner their parent planet on there orbit around the Sun. All the planets orbits the Sun in approximately the same plane. However, there are comets and meteors which orbit the Sun in different planes, Notably Halley's Comet.
The pull of the sun that keeps the planets in their places?
The Sun's Gravitational pull keeps the planets orbiting it, not flying into deep space.
