This is the most difficult, yet easiest concept of physics to grasp.

If there were no gravity, there would be no planets, no stars, no star systems or galaxies, and no universe. While gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental forces (strong nuclear, weak nuclear, electromagnetic, and gravity), and the least understood. Physicists have been chasing the mystery of gravity for a century or more.

The fact remains, that none of what we know would work without gravity. Or, the other three fundamental forces for that matter.

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.


How do rings stay around planets?

There is 0 gravity in space, so the rings stay in place.


Why do the planets stay in the same orbit the whole time?

Because the gravitational pull of the Sun - keeps them there ! The planets are always trying to fly out into space, but the outward pull of the planets is counteracted by the gravity the sun exerts on them. If the sun's gravity stopped - all the planets would zoom off into space !


How does the sun stay in orbit?

The Sun stays in orbit because of gravity. This is also why all the planets stay in orbit too. Gravity pulls the planets towards the Sun. Without gravity, the planets would be wandering all over the universe.


How would the motion of the moon be diffrent if there was no gravity?

it will be different by none of the planets will be floating in the air they will be dropping and the space ships wouldn't stay up.BY:JSEAN CORY BOULDIN.


How do the planets stay in the sky?

planets stay in the sky due to the pull of gravity


Do planets stay in their orbits because of gravity?

no


Would planets stay in a straight line without the sun?

Probably not, because as per Physical Science rules, the more mass an object has the more gravity it has. In this case, the sun is so large that all the planets in the solar system could fit in it with space left! If the sun wasn't there, there would be some level of gravity, but definitely not enough to keep the planets aligned.


Why do planets stay up in the sky?

There is no gravity in space so they just sort of float and every planet orbits around the sun and also helps them stay in place


What makes planets stay in their particular pattern?

gravity.


Would i float into space if i were on the moon?

No, there is sufficient gravity on the Moon for you to stay on the surface.


Why do the planets stay in there orbits as they revolve around the sun?

because of the gravity the sun has and also the planets have gravity turning around the sun
