Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the stars and the stars in orbit around the center of the galaxy. Gravity also holds the stars together against their own internal pressure.

What is caused by the pulling of the moon's gravity?
high tidesProbably the most notable affect of the Moon's gravity, here on the Earth, are the tides.
What else can you see in the sky besides stars and the moon?
Planets but the look like stars
How does the force of gravity from the earth affect the moon?
Gravity makes the Moon remain in orbit around Earth.
Why do the moons stay in orbit around Jupiter?
Any moon is held in orbit by gravity, just as the planets are held in orbit around the sun by gravity.
What does gravity have to do with the moon and the sun?
Gravity has to do with everything in the universe. Gravity pulls the Moon toward the Earth, but its orbital speed prevents it from falling into it (it falls"around" the Earth in a slightly elliptical orbit). Similarly, the Sun's gravity keeps the Earth and Moon, and the other planets, in their orbits.
How do moons orbit the planets?
the planets do not orbit the moon but the moon orbits the planets because of gravity and inertia
How are the stars moon and planets the same?
They are all objects held together by gravity. The main DIFFERENCES are the corresponding masses, the fact that planets orbit stars, whereas moons orbit planets, and that stars (due to their greater mass) can convert a lot of energy due to nuclear fusion.
What is a symbol for fate?
The planets, moon and stars can be
What force keeps the planets and the Moon's to orbit?
Gravity
Do the craters cause more gravity on the moon?
No. The craters on the moon do not affect its gravity.
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
What 10 things that cannot be destroyed by volcanoes?
stars moon god chuck Norris earths gravity the sun the heat clouds other planets the atmosphere
How does gravity from the moon affects the earth?
No, gravity on the moon is completely seperate and does not affect the earth.
What prevent's a planets moon from flying off into space?
Gravity.
What is caused by the pulling of the moon's gravity?

How does the sun's gravity affect the planets?
Yes. The sun is attracted by the gravity of the planets just as the planets are attracted by the sun. Since the sun is more massive it does not move as much, bu the gravity of the orbiting planets does cause it to "wobble."
What keeps the planets on their path?
The gravity of there star keeps them on path and a planets moon is sun around by its planets gravitational force
