The distance that the planet is from the sun determines its orbit and thus how long it takes to complete an orbit.

When you push UP on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you increase your weight when you push DOWN on an object when object is stationary on earths surface you decrease your weight?
No, your weight is just the acceleration due to the Earth's gravity,
What relates an object's mass and volume and determines whether an object will sink or float?
Density
What determines whether an object will sink or float in fluid?
density
What is the size of an object determines whether it will float water?
The size of an object has little to do with whether it will float. Size relative to weight, or density, is what determines bouyancy. If the object weighs less than the amount of water it can displace, it floats.
What is the physical property that determines whether an object will sink or float?
Density
What determines whether an object sinks or float?

What hits the surface of an object determines its textured appearance?
Light

An object at rest on the earths surface has two forces acting upon it what are they and why doesnt the object move?
Gravity and the upward force of the surface the object is resting on.
How center of gravity determines whether the objects is at rest or in motion.?
The centre of gravity does not, by itself, determine whether an object is at rest or in motion. The location of the centre of gravity, relative to where the object is supported, can contribute one of many forces that can act on the object. And it is is the [vector] sum of these forces which determines whether the object remains at rest or in uniform motion.
What determines the graviteational pull on an object on the surface of the moon?
The mass of the Moon, the mass of the object, and the distance to the center of the Moon.
An object that causes craters to form when it collides with the earths surface is called what?
A metior
