The amount of gravity is not really quantifiable, but the gravitational force of a planet on a standard mass at a standard distance is proportional to the planet's mass.

How much gravity does it take to keep planets in orbit?

A fair amount, though it depends on the distances of the planets and their masses. The important thing is that the gravity (and therefore mass) of the central sun must be much greater than that of the planets, other wise they would orbit each other (or the sun would orbit the planet if its mass was much greater).


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 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.


Does earth have the most gravity compared to the other planets?

No. Of the planets in this solar system, Jupiter, by far, has the strongest gravity.


Does any other planet have gravity?

Yes, all planets have gravity. Gravity is a force that attracts objects with mass towards each other, so every celestial body with mass, including planets, has its own gravitational pull.


Is mass affected by gravity on earth and other planets?

No. Weight is affected by gravity.


What affect does gravity have on the planets?

The planets' own gravity has made them spherical. Also there are other effects such as their ability to retain an atmosphere, etc. The Sun's gravitycauses the orbits of the planets.
