Why do the moons stay in orbit around Jupiter?
Any moon is held in orbit by gravity, just as the planets are held in orbit around the sun by gravity.
How are the planets held in their orbit?
The planets are held in orbit by the gravity of the Sun, and also because that is what happens when the force of inertia and gravity are combined.
How does the sun stay in orbit?
The Sun stays in orbit because of gravity. This is also why all the planets stay in orbit too. Gravity pulls the planets towards the Sun. Without gravity, the planets would be wandering all over the universe.
Planets and moons are kept in orbit by the force of?
Mass and gravity
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.
How do moons orbit the planets?
the planets do not orbit the moon but the moon orbits the planets because of gravity and inertia
Why do the moons stay in orbit around Jupiter?
Any moon is held in orbit by gravity, just as the planets are held in orbit around the sun by gravity.
How are the planets held in orbit?
Most people don't think this but planets are actually held in orbit by gravity. With out gravity the planets will fall down.
What is the force that keeps planet in orbit?
the suns gravity keeps the planets in orbit
What does gravity have to do with planets?
It keeps them in orbit.

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.
What are the effects of environmental degradation to the behavior of humans?
the planets orbit the sun right.so that means that the earth a part to so if gravity ,then what would earth land on if there was gravity
How do the planets in the solar system orbit?
