What is the force that makes planets move around the sun?
Sasacute89
The force of gravity acts between each planets and the Sun (and also less strongly between all the planets).
The force keeps all the planets in their stable orbits in which the planet accelerates towards the Sun continuously, obeying Newton's second law, force = mass x acceleration.
The planets do not fall into the Sun because their sideways speed in their orbits stops them doing that, so the acceleration just appears as a constant curve inwards towards the Sun, without ever getting significantly closer.

∙ 15y agoIt is gravity that holds the planets in their orbits around the sun. Gravity is what gives "shape" to the solar system, to galaxies, and is the large-scale organizer of the universe as a whole.

∙ 14y agoi really don't know but you can look on ask.com bc google be on one. yep yep kk bye.

∙ 10y agoIt is EXACTLY the same as the force of the sun pulling on the planet.

Why do all the planets orbit the sun?
Not all the planets orbit the sun - other stars have planets too. But all the planets in our solar system, which is the system of our sun, revolve around the sun; otherwise they would be in other solar systems. All the planets we can see with our naked eye orbit the sun, since the planets orbiting the sun are the only ones close enough to earth to see without a telescope.
What force holds the planets in orbit around the sun?
It's the force of gravity which acts on the planets and keeps them in their orbits. Gravity works both ways but the Sun is more massive by far so does not move very much at all. The planets are caused to accelerate towards the Sun by gravity. They move in their orbits with velocities, at any moment, at a tangent to their orbital paths. The result is that they move in a continuous curve around the Sun. If they move slightly closer they speed up, which causes them to move out again, so the orbits are stable. Potential energy and kinetic energy are being exchanged all the time for each planet but the total stays constant.
What are the uses of gravitational force?
Gravitation force makes the Earth move around the sun and also makes the moon go around the Earth. Our weight is the gravitational force of the Earth acting on us. For example; the gravitational force of the moon is about one-sixth that of the Earth.
Why do the planets and their moons move around the sun but do not crush?
Their own gravity disables them to lose path in their orbit and makes their path steady.
How do the planets move in the solar system?
The sun's gravity pulls the planets around it.
Why do all the planets orbit?
Planets orbit around the Sun because of the Sun's gravitational force, it makes the planets move by its gravitational force.
How could newton's first law of motion explain that a force is acting between the sun and its planets?
If no force, the planets would move in a straight line, not in a orbit around the sun.
Why do all the planets orbit the sun?

What makes the planets to move around the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun because of gravity and their angular momentum, which ultimately derives from the energy of the Big Bang.
What makes a solar system spin?
what makes it spin is the force of gravity in space that keep our planets in place anbd how they move.(the solar system is spining right now.)
What is done when force makes an object move?
When a force makes an object move, work is done.
How does the orbits effect the way planets move?
Orbits help a planet move because of gravitational pull which makes the planet orbit round and round. The planets orbit around the son and the moon orbits around earth. Hope this helps!
Which force makes the leaves of plants move?
The natural force wind makes the leaves plants move.
What will happen if the gravitational force around the sun goes down?
Then the earth, with all of the other planets, will move further away from the sun.
Do inner planets move?
Yes. All planets move in orbit around their host star.
