What else can I help you with?
What is the force acting on the planets?
Gravity, mainly. The Sun attracts the planets, and - to a lesser degree - the planets attract one another.
What pulls the planets to the sun?
The sun's gravity pulls the planets.
Where does the gravity that holds the planets in their orbits come from?
The gravity that keeps the planets in orbit is the sun's gravity, which is a product of the sun's mass.
The earths gravity keeps the planets circling the sun?
Actually, it's the gravity of the sun that keeps the planets in orbit around it. The force of gravity between the sun and the planets causes them to be pulled towards the sun, while their momentum keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path.
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
Does the sun give planets gravity?
No. Planets have gravity as a result of their own mass.
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.
How does the sun have gravity?
The sun has all the gravity to keep the planets a certain distance from the sun.
What are is the Sun and the planets attracted to each other by?
Gravity and inertia. The Sun's gravity holds all the planets in orbit with its immense gravity, and the planets have no tendency to change their orbits due to the law of inertia which implies that the planets will stay in their elliptical patterns until a force acts on them to change that status.
Does the Earth and other planets move around the Sun?
The existence of large objects like planets or stars curve space and time. As the Earth goes around the sun it is in fact falling into the sun. The problem is that the sun and other planets are also moving. Gravity from the sun's previous location takes time to reach the Earth and planets such that the gravity from another location reaches the targets first. As the Earth and other planets reach a location where it might be moving in; the sun moves again, and other planets impart their gravity as well. The gravity of the sun becomes diluted throughout the heliosheath because of this weakening the effect of gravity even further.
Why do the plantes orbit the sun?
why do the PLANETS orbit the sun? Because of gravity, the sun has loads of gravity so it holds all the planets in space.
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
