Which object's gravity holds the planets in their orbits?
The sun's gravity holds the planets in their orbits. It also holds other space objects in their orbits, such as asteroids.
What effect does the sun have on the outer planets?
Its gravity keeps them in their orbits, just like all the objects in the solar system.
What force is responible for the orbits of the planets in the solar system?
Gravity from the Sun holds the planets in their orbits.
Why do the planets and the other objects in the solar system stay in their orbits?
The planets and other objects in the solar system stay in their orbits due to the mutual gravitational attraction between each orbiting object and the Sun.
How do planets stay on orbit?
The gravity of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits. They stay in their orbits because there is no other force in the Solar System which can stop them.
What is the role of gravity as it relates to celestial bodies?
The celestial bodies attract one another through gravity. Among other things, gravity will:* Keep objects, such as planets, in orbits around other objects, such as stars. * Change orbits - e.g., one planet may influence the orbit of another planet. * Make objects such as stars and planets form in the first place.
What holds the planets in their orbits?
Gravity holds the planets in their orbit
What keeps the planets in your solar system from floating away?
The force of the Sun's gravity keeps them in their orbits.
What from the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits?
Gravity
Do planets stay in their orbits because of gravity?
no
Why do planets have orbits?
i think its is by the force of gravity planets are kepet orbit
What is the role of the solar system?
a solar system consists of a sun and the celestial objects bound to it by gravity. Our Earth is part of a solar system along with 7 other planets that orbits the sun. (pluto is no longer considered a planet, sorry pluto).
