It would seem that all things organic would be shorter, stouter. Takes more energy to move around, and things fall faster, and the impact hurts more. It depends how heavy the gravity would be, Earth's is considered standard gravity, which means items fall and accelerate a set rate, on a heavy gravity planet, these numbers would be faster. I do not think that humans could live on a heavy gravity planet, unless it were just slightly higher than Earth's. Little things, like swallowing, moving our hands to scractch our necks, would be hard on this type of planet. Plants and other animals would likewise be affected.

^^^^Are you dumb? Organisms would adjust to the gravity forces and it would eventually feel normal to us. Humans would be alot stronger and faster, heavier objects would sink in the ground. That's about it.

How does gravity keep the planets in order in the solar system?

Gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun. If planets were not subject to the gravitational attraction of the sun, they would fly off into interstellar space. In addition, gravity is also what holds planets together. If there were no gravity, the planets, and the sun, would disintegrate under the force of their own spin. There would be nothing left of the solar system but an expanding cloud of gas and dust.


What force works with gravity to keep the planets from being pulled into the sun?

That's "centrifugal force". It's not a "real" force like gravity, but is a convenient way of describing the effect of the inertia of the planets. (The planets would move in straight lines if they were not in a gravity field.)


What would happen to an object in orbit around planets if the planets force of gravity were stronger than the objects inertia?

The object would crash into the planet.


What would happen to the orbits of the planets if the amount of gravity produced by the sun reduced to almost 0?

The orbits of the planets would all be much larger if the sun had less gravity. They might even just fly off free.


Can planets and dwarf planets revolve around the sun?

Yes, they revolve around the sun in their orbits. Their orbits depend on their weight, which would determine the weight of gravity in individual cases, and the planets are controlled by their own gravity and the centrifugal and centriputal forces always in effect.

What would happen to planets and their moons if there were no gravity?

If there was no gravity, the Sun and and the planets would never have formed.


How would plants develop zero gravity environment?

There isn't a zero gravity environment, but if there was, planets wouldn't form. Planets form by very large rock all attracting to each other and gain enough energy that the center pulls the surrounding rock and smooths then into a sphere. So if a zero gravity environment existed. There would be no planets.


If the force of gravity suddenly stopped acting on the planets they would do what?

Gravity is what keeps the planets going in their orbits. If gravity just stopped, then the planets would go flying in a straight line tangent to their orbit.


What if gravity didn't exist?

Without gravity, it is doubtful that the universe as we know it would exist at all. At the very least, galaxies, stars and planets would be unable to form. Worse still, without stars there would be no heavy elements and it is unlikely that life would exist.


Would there be a sky without gravity?

No, as there would be no coalescence of matter to form suns and planets without gravity.

Gravity is the reason that the planets stay in orbit around the sun?

It is half the reason, at least. Gravity is the force pulling the planets towards the sun, but they also have a velocity working perpendicular to it. With the velocity alone, the planets would fly off into space. With gravity alone, the planets would be pulled into the sun.


What does gravity give a planet?

With out gravity planets would go flying off into space


Does the sun hold the planets in orbit with its gravity?

Yes. Without the sun's gravity the planets would move out into interstellar space in straight lines.


What will happen if planets got out of their orbits?

Planets can't really get out of their orbits because of gravity; if gravity somehow stopped having an effect, the planets would continue in a straight inertial line with inertia from the point at which gravity stopped.


What impact does gravity have on the planets and their orbit?

Without gravity, each of the planets would continue straight ahead into space, and become dispersed. Gravity holds them in their orbital paths around the Sun. Of course, without gravity, the Sun would explode, and the planets would also disintegrate and their mass would scatter because of the centrifugal force of their spin and angular momentum.


What would happen if there was not enough gravity to keep the planets in orbit round the sun?

Planets would most likely drift until they were attracted to the next largest center of gravity, say Jupiter. But without a centre of gravity, the planets would have nothing to hold themselves in a fixed point and would simply drift.
