The attracting force for mass over large scales is the force of gravity. The mutual attraction between the Sun and planets keeps the latter in fairly stable orbits.

Why do we stay together and don't spin away or get sucked into the sun?

we stay together by gravitational forces and gravital orbitational circles. our solar system was either started by a solar nebula or meteoroids colliding. our solar system was started4,600 years old.


What roles do forces play in the stability of the Solar System?

Forces hold the Universe together. On a closer to home base, the forces also hold our solar system together, allowing us to ask questions on Answers.com. (Gravity exerts a weak force the works from long distances, EM exerts a strong force that works from long distances, and Nuclear forces would take too long to explain.)


What is a result of gravitational forces in the Solar System?

One result of gravitational forces in the Solar System is the motion of planets in their orbits around the Sun. These forces also contribute to the stability of the Solar System by holding celestial bodies in place and preventing them from drifting off into space.


How do astronomers think our solar system was formed?

A bunch of hydrogen atoms clustered together. The H+ smashed together releasing a ton of heat, creating the sun.


Does gravity have an effect on your solar system?

Yes, It holds the whole solar system together.


What is a result of gravitational forces in the Solar System A.?

the orbit of planets around the Sun in the Solar systemthe orbit of moons around their planets in the Solar system


What is the force that causes the formation of the solar system?

The force that causes the formation of the solar system is primarily gravity. Gravity pulls particles and gases together, forming a spinning disk that eventually condenses into the Sun and planets. Other forces such as electromagnetic and nuclear forces also play a role in the formation process.


What makes the planets and moons in the solar system move?

Gravitational forces combined with the motion of the planet or moon originating from the formation of the solar system.


If there were no inertia would cause the moon to travel in a straight line?

Inertia is a natural force that impacts the forces of the moon and its orbit through the solar system.


Why are stars a part of your solar system?

There is only one star that is part of our solar system. That is the sun. The stars we see are outside our solar system. "Solar" refers to our star. It holds the solar system together as it is through its gravity that everything orbits it, creating the solar system. So it is the key part of our solar system. That is why it is part of it.


What roles do forces play in the patterns and sability of the solar system?

Forces, such as gravity, play a crucial role in determining the patterns and stability of the solar system. Gravity governs the orbits of planets around the Sun, as well as interactions between celestial bodies. These forces help maintain the balance and stability of the solar system over long periods of time.
