Best Answer

When a planet moves around a star, it causes the star to wobble a bit from side to side as planets follow an elliptical orbit rather than a circular orbit. Astronomers can then use this fact to see whether stars have planets.

Why do earth and the moon remain in their orbits?

(simplified) Gravitational force of attraction is balanced by centripital force due to earths velocity. (G*m1*m2) / r2 = m2 * (v2 / r) m1 = sun mass m2 = earth mass r = earth - sun distance v = earths orbital velocity G = newtons gravitational constant


Are dwarf planets and minor planets the samet hing?

Dwarf planets are celestial bodies that have enough mass to have a gravitational pull by the sun, but they are not large enough to be considered a regular planet. They are also too big to be satellites. Minor planets are in direct orbit with the sun. They are not dominant planets, and they are not comets. This qualifies all dwarf planets as minor planets. So, to answer your question, not exactly. All dwarf planets are minor planets. But not all minor planets are dwarf planets. Hope this helps you!!


How many newtons are there in 1000 kilograms?

There are 9806.65002864 Newtons in 1000 kilograms. Hope this helps!


How does the orbits effect the way planets move?

Orbits help a planet move because of gravitational pull which makes the planet orbit round and round. The planets orbit around the son and the moon orbits around earth. Hope this helps!

How does the grivity effect the planets and moons?

Gravity helps to keep the planets in orbit. It also helps to keep the moon's close to the planets.


What are the units for measuring forces?

In the SI system, newtons. In the English System, pounds. Hope this helps!


What is the weight in newtons for lily lightweight who has a mass of 40 kg?

What planet are you on? I don't mean to be a wise-ass, but weight depends upon the acceleration of gravity, which is different on different planets, whereas mass is the same no matter where you are. On the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2, so a 40-kg mass will weigh 40 x 9.8 = 392 newtons.

How does gravity affect the relationship between the sun and the planets?

Yes. It keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.
