How do earth and other objects move in space?
The movement of the planets (inertia) moves them perpendicular to the sun at about the same rate that the gravity from the sun pulls the planets in. The gravity of the sun is a little stronger as the earth is slowly, but continuously getting closer to the sun.
Which of the planets is the outermost of the four inner terrestrial planets?
Mars is the last of the inner planets. It is the fourth planet from the Sun and right before the Asteroid belt.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
What planets are located between the sun the earth?
The planets located between the sun and Earth are Mercury and Venus. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, followed by Venus before reaching Earth.
Does the sun orbit the planets?
No. The planets orbit the Sun and the Sun orbits itself.
The illusion that slower moving superior planets appear to reverse their direction of travel when the earth catches up and passes them is called what?
This phenomenon is called retrograde motion. It occurs when Earth, which has a shorter orbit than the superior planets, overtakes and passes them in their respective orbits around the Sun, creating the illusion of the planets moving backwards in the sky.
How does gravity between the sun and planets control the path the planets make around the sun?
The sizes of the Sun and planets determine the strength of gravitational pull of the planets on each other and the Sun. The Sun's mass is so great that the planets can't escape from the Sun's pull and so as the planets are moving by the Sun pulls them back into orbit.
What pulls the planets to the sun?
The sun's gravity pulls the planets.
Where is the sun in relation to the planets?
The planets orbit the central sun.
What do the planets and the sun orbit?
the sun does not move, the planets orbit around the sun idiot.
