Inertia makes a planet tend to travel in a straight line but what keeps it in orbit?
gravitygravity! a+
Inertia makes a plant tend to travel in a straight line but what keeps it in orbit?
Gravity keeps a planet in orbit. Inertia tries to make the planet move in a straight line. The balance between the two makes the planet orbit a sun.
What direction a planet would travel if gravity did not affect it?
Straight. If gravity did not pull a planet into an elliptical orbit, momentum would cause it to continue straight ahead at the same speed it had been moving. If the Sun's gravity were to magically disappear, the Earth would fly off into space at 67,000 miles per hour.
How does the blue whale communicate?
Blue whales communicate by using low frequency whistles, reaching upto 188 decibels, their sound can travel through many kilometres of ocean.
Did the light travel in a straight path through the air before it reached the bowl of water?
Light always travels in a straight line. It's direction can be changed, by reflection or refraction, but it does not bend.
How many kilometres is it to travel through the planet?
The diameter of the Earth from North Pole to South Pole is about 12713.6 kilometers. The distance through the Earth from opposite longitudes at the equator is farther due to the rotational "bulge", about 12776.2 kilometers.
Do photons travel in a straight line?
Yes, they do. But they sometimes travel a straight line through bent space.
How many kilometres from Australia to Romania?
13 900 km , by air travel, straight line, between Bucharest and Melbourne

Materials through which light can travel in straight lines are?
Transparent
What kind of line does light travel through?
Straight line.
When does light travel in a straight line?
travels through a uniform medium
How are light and sound waves different in terms of speed type of wave and mediums?
Light waves travel at approx 300,000 kilometres per second, sound at approx 0.343 kilometres/second.Light waves can travel in vacuum or through some media (there is no such word as mediums!). Sound waves cannot travel through vacuum: they needs a physical medium.
What planet does not travel in a straight line but in a curved line?
Kepler's Law: "The orbits of the planets are ellipses with the Sun at one of the foci."
Can heat radiation travel through a vacuum?
Yes, think of the radiation from the Sun, it must travel through the vacuum of space to warm our own planet Earth.
How can light travel in straight lines?
Light travels faster than air. Its beam are straight so that it travels through holes.
