the rule of gravity is the greater mass a planet is the stronger its gravitational pull is so the suns mass is so heavy that its gravitational pull is so strong it keeps all the planets in line
Because a planet has mass, it has a gravitational pull. Every object with mass has gravity, but the amount of mass it has determines its gravitational pull. The earth has a very large amount of mass, so it has a large gravitational pull.
Gravity is everywhere. If two objects have masses, each object exerts a gravitational force on the other. The idea is very similar and relevant to our solar system. Gravitational force is exerted onto each planets by every single mass that exists in the universe. Gravity, therefore, does 'pull' on planets.
Yet the magnitude of such gravitational forces depend on the distance of separation between objects and the objects' respective masses. In short, gravity indeed is everywhere and acts even on planets. Newton was curious about this very question and in the end figured out that it was the gravity pulling on the planets that made planets orbit.
It's called inerta and gravity that pulls the planet in orbit.
All the planets are attracted to each other, and the sun, by gravity. The sun has over 99% of the mass of the solar system, so it has the greatest gravitational pull.
They were all formed form the same Solar nebula and, due to the way in which such nebulae collapse into stellar systems, they all orbit the sun.
Because of gravity and all the pull (gravitational pull).
The gravitational pull from the sun plus its own pull away from the sun
Gravity draws the planets toward the sun so that they are essentially in freefall, but their sideways motion relative to the pull of gravity causes them to miss the sun by the time they would have fallen into it.
Gravity is what sets the planets in motion. The force that keeps them in motion is known as inertia in the law of physics.
Gravity holds the planets in their orbit
The pull of gravity is what pulls things down. This is on lots of planets.
The pull of gravity.
planets stay in the sky due to the pull of gravity
Because of gravity and all the pull (gravitational pull).
gravity depends on mass (matter) and distance from the sun because every planets gravity is how big it is and how far it is
The larger the mass of the planet, the greater the force of its gravity.
the gravitational pull of the gravity of the planet so in other words bigger planets more gravity, smaller planet less gravity. usually bigger planets have more moons
answer is mars but all planets have a gravitation effect on the earth even gas planets
A planets gravitational pull is the force it exerts on other objects. The planets orbit is the path it takes due to gravity. Basically gravity causes the orbit.
Because the gravitational pull of the Sun - keeps them there ! The planets are always trying to fly out into space, but the outward pull of the planets is counteracted by the gravity the sun exerts on them. If the sun's gravity stopped - all the planets would zoom off into space !
The pull of the Sun's gravity.
As planets get bigger, the gravitational pull gets bigger. Mass entails gravity.
