One way is that without gravity the earth and sun would fall apart because there is nothing else to hold them together.

Is it true that- gravity holds planets in orbit because planets are attracted to each other's gravitational force?

No, gravity holds planets in orbit around the sun because the sun's gravity pulls on them. This gravitational force between the sun and planets keeps them in their respective orbits. The force between planets themselves is much smaller and mainly affects their interactions with each other rather than their orbits around the sun.


What pulls the planets to the sun?

The sun's gravity pulls the planets.


Where does the gravity that holds the planets in their orbits come from?

The gravity that keeps the planets in orbit is the sun's gravity, which is a product of the sun's mass.


The earths gravity keeps the planets circling the sun?

Actually, it's the gravity of the sun that keeps the planets in orbit around it. The force of gravity between the sun and the planets causes them to be pulled towards the sun, while their momentum keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path.


Why do the planets stay in there orbits as they revolve around the sun?

because of the gravity the sun has and also the planets have gravity turning around the sun


Does the sun give planets gravity?

No. Planets have gravity as a result of their own mass.


What forces holds the earth and other planets in the Sun's orbit?

Simple. Gravity! The planets are dragged in by the gravity of the sun.


How does the sun have gravity?

The sun has all the gravity to keep the planets a certain distance from the sun.


Why do the plantes orbit the sun?

why do the PLANETS orbit the sun? Because of gravity, the sun has loads of gravity so it holds all the planets in space.


How does inertia and gravity combine to make the planets orbit the sun?

The sun's gravity is pulling the planets toward it and the planets inertia keeps them moving forward


Are planets held in place by gravity?

Yes they are the sun has gravity that holds the planets in place.


What force holds inner planets tightly to the sun?

Gravity :) (Gravity also holds the outer planets tightly to the Sun.)
