What effect does gravity have on the outer planets?

Answer 1

The effect of gravity does effect the planets.

Gravity keeps the planets to the sun.

Gravity works between any 2 objects.

It's the attraction between planets and sun that keeps planets going around the sun otherwise they would keep going in a straight line.

Answer 2

Almost nothing affects gravity. Gravity is the mutual attraction between every two objects that have mass, not matter how small or great,. The force of attraction is directly proportional to the masses, and inversely proportional to the SQUARE of the distance between them.

Nothing stops gravity. Nothing bends gravity, and to the best of our knowledge so far, nothing interferes with gravity.

Answer 3

The force of gravity pulls a planet directly towards the Sun. At the same time the planet is moving fast in a direction about 90 degrees to the force, and the planet's inertia tends to make it travel in a straight line with a constant velocity. The resulting effect of gravity and inertia combined is that the planet follows a curved path that takes it round the Sun in its orbit.

Answer 4

For example, Sun's gravity keeps them in orbit, just like the inner planets; and the gravity from other planets gradually disturbs those orbits, just as in the case of the inner planets.

Answer 5

All planets have a gravity of their own and sit in the gravity field of their stellar primary.

Answer 6

if there was no gravity then we will all be floating around in the air. also the rain will; go upwards instead of downwards.

Answer 7

it keeps them spinning in a closed path around the sun
