What else can I help you with?
The plants are kept in orbit by the sun's blank?
The planets are kept in orbit by the Suns gravity.
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.
Who determined the force that kept planets in orbit?
It was Isaac Newton who figured out that the force of gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun.
Did Kepler say that it was the pull of the suns gravity that kept the planets in orbit?
No. Kepler proposed that some force kept the planets in orbit, but did not know or say what that force was. It was Isaac Newton who figured out that this force is gravity.
What do you call the path to the planets takes what keeps the planets on this path?
The path a planet takes is called an orbit.The planets are kept in orbit by the gravitational pull of the star (in our case the Sun) they orbit.
What force did Newton say kept the moon and planets in orbit?
That force is gravity.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
Which scientist discovered that it was the pull of the suns gravitational attraction that kept the planets in their orbits?
It was Nicholas Copernicus. who discovered that the sun keeps the planets one Their orbit.
What were Sir Isaac Newton's greatest discoveries in the history of science?
gravity, what kept the planets in orbit, laws of motion
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
