they would probably collide with a comet, asteroid, the Sun, or another planet.

What would happen if the planets did not move in their orbits?

i do not this answer that's why i am asking you this answer.


What will happen if the planets do not follow their own orbits?

Then the laws of physics would be broken. An impossibility.


What would happen if the planets did not move in their fixed path?

If the planets did not move in their fixed orbits they may dash each other.


What will happen if planets got out of their orbits?

Planets can't really get out of their orbits because of gravity; if gravity somehow stopped having an effect, the planets would continue in a straight inertial line with inertia from the point at which gravity stopped.


What would happen to the orbits of the planets if the amount of gravity produced by the sun reduced to almost 0?

The orbits of the planets would all be much larger if the sun had less gravity. They might even just fly off free.


What would happen if the Sun orbits the Earth?

It would ruin the solar system and might destroy the other planets because they are in the way of the suns orbiting circle and all the planets would be floating in sapce all over the place or the sun and all the other planets will have to orbit the earth and it will become the earth system-dont think it's going to happen though


What will happen if all the planets are same distance from the sun?

They would have banged into each other, split up, gone off in different directions and regrouped into planets with different orbits.


What would happen if planets were closed to the sun were to slow down to their orbits of the sun?

Currently the gravitation pull of the Sun is balanced by the momentum the planets have due to their velocities. If the Planets were to slow down they would be pulled closer to the Sun. They could be pulled into the Sun or regain stable orbits as the Sun's gravity increased their speeds again.


Would the planets continue in their orbits if the Sun was removed?

No, i think they would go hurtling off into space. No, all the planets in our solar system orbit the way they do because of the sun's gravitational pull on them.


What would happen to earth if the chain of gravity wasn't in space?

All the planets would go out of their orbits and the Sun wouldn't warm the Earth, therefore erasing all life on Earth.


Can planets and dwarf planets revolve around the sun?

Yes, they revolve around the sun in their orbits. Their orbits depend on their weight, which would determine the weight of gravity in individual cases, and the planets are controlled by their own gravity and the centrifugal and centriputal forces always in effect.


If the planets' orbits were circular would their distance from the sun always be the same?

Yes. However, the orbits of all planets are elliptical. Some planets, like Earth, have a very low "eccentricity", which is a measure of how non-circular they are. Earth's orbit is not quite circular, but fairly close. Other planets, like Mars, have more eccentric orbits, and their perihelion and aphelion distances are substantially different.
