YES! and without gravity we would be traveling in the same direction until we hit something to make us go another way.

How does inertia and gravity combine to make the planets orbit the sun?

The sun's gravity is pulling the planets toward it and the planets inertia keeps them moving forward


What two forces work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun?

The two forces that work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun are gravity and inertia.


What keep the planets from going into the sun?

Inertia.


Why do all the planets orbit around the sun?

Gravity and inertia


What force kept the planets moving in their orbits about the sun?

inertia


What roll does inertia play in the heliocentric theory?

Inertia keeps the planets moving around the Sun, rather than falling into the Sun.


How does inertia affect your solar system?

Inertia causes celestial bodies in the solar system to continue moving along their current paths unless acted upon by an external force. This is why planets orbit the Sun and moons orbit planets in a stable manner, as their inertia keeps them in motion. Changes in their orbits or paths would require a significant force to overcome their inertia.


Do inertia and magnetism hold the planets in their revolutionary paths around the sun?

no. inertia and gravity hold them in their paths.


What keeps the planets and the sun in place?

Gravity, inertia, and gravitational force.


Where do the planets get the power that makes them revolve around the sun?

Planets move in orbit because of their own inertia and the gravity of the sun. The sun pulls things to it, and the inertia of a body wants to send it off on a tangent from the arc along which it is traveling. Between the two, bodies will carve out an orbit around the sun.


What were the two factors Isaac Newton concluded that combined to keep the planets in orbit?

Isaac Newton concluded that the force of gravity and the forward motion of the planets combined to keep them in orbit around the Sun. The force of gravity pulls the planets towards the Sun, while the forward motion of the planets creates the centrifugal force that counteracts gravity, leading to stable orbits.


Each planet moves around in the sun in?

orbit. The force of gravity from the sun holds the planets in their orbits, while the planets' velocity and inertia keep them moving in a curved path around the sun. This balance between gravity and inertia allows the planets to move in stable orbits.
