How does the planets orbit around the sun?

Answer 1

the reason why the planets revolve around or orbit the sun is that the gravity of the sun keeps them in their orbits. Just as the moon orbits earth because of the pull of earths gravity. Earth orbits the sun because of the pull of the suns gravity.

Answer 2

Planets orbit the sun because of gravity. In a way when a satellite orbits, it is essentially falling towards an object, and away from it so it is in a constant circular fall.

Gravity is a mysterious force which to this day isn't fully explained. Einstein seen it as a bulge in space time, our fourth dimension. Imagine a Basketball, sitting in a material that bends around it, our planet is like a much smaller ball hugging the curves of that material constantly circling the sun.

It is also because of inerita

Answer 3

The shape of orbit that planets take around the Sun is called an ellipse.

All the planets orbit in the same direction. That's anticlockwise, as viewed from above Earth's North Pole.

Answer 4

The gravitational pull of the sun cause all celestial bodies in our solar system to orbit around the sun.

Answer 5

All the planets maintain an orbit around the Sun within our Solar System.

Answer 6

Planets revolve around the Sun in elliptical (oval) orbits. The closest planets to the Sun move more quickly and are hotter the far away planets move slowly and are very cold.
