What force keeps planets and moons going in orbits?
The force of gravity causes orbits.
What keeps the earth and all the planets and suns floating in thin air?
Gravity is the force that keeps the Earth and other celestial bodies floating in space. Gravity is the attraction between objects with mass, pulling them towards each other. It keeps planets in orbit around the Sun and moons in orbit around their planets, creating a delicate balance that keeps everything in place.
Does meteors is planets or moons?
Meteors are pieces of either moons or planets that broke off and are freely floating around in place t'ill they get attracted by a planets gravitational pull.
What force controls the movement of planets and moons in your solar system?
Gravity
What will happen if the planets do not follow their orbits?
If a planet doesn't follow its orbital path, then it may crash into other planets, moons and/or other object floating around in space.

Why do planets and their moons stay in orbit?
gravitational force.
Why do planets have moons?
Planets have moons because matter is attracted by gravitational force to objects with a greater mass than them.That is why moons orbit planets and are never larger than their host planet.
What was the name of the scientist who showed that gravity keeps planets and moons in orbit?
Isaac Newton
Which of asteroids the sun moons or planets has the greatest gravitation force?
