How does the sun hold all the planets in its orbit?

the sun holds the planets to getter by gravity and rotation


What hold the planet in orbit around the sun?

The planets orbit the Sun because of the force of gravity that keeps them there. Without gravity they would all move in straight lines.


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.


Do moons and asteroids orbit the sun?

Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.


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.


Why are the planets in orbit around the sun?

gravity


How did the planets get its orbit?

Through the Sun's gravity.


What two forces work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun?

The two forces that work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun are gravity and inertia.


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.


Does the sun use gravity to stay in the middle of the solar system?

In a sense. The planets all orbit the sun because it contains about 99.9% of the mass of the solar system. The sun wobbles somewhat due to the gravity of the planets, but does not move very far.


What is the force that hold the planets in orbit around the sun?

It is gravity that holds the planets in their orbits around the sun. Gravity is what gives "shape" to the solar system, to galaxies, and is the large-scale organizer of the universe as a whole.


How does gravity help the planets orbit?

The Sun pulls the planets around it
