What else can I help you with?
What force keeps the moons from floating away from the planets?
The force of gravity between the moon and the planet is what keeps the moon in orbit around the planet. This gravitational force prevents the moon from floating away into space and keeps it in a stable orbit.
Could you land on the outer planets?
No. The outer planets do not have solid surfaces. Those planets are made of gases held together by gravity.
What are the distances between planets greater between the inner or outer planets?
The inner planets are closer together than the outer planets are.
Why do the planets stay in orbit and not spin into outer space?
The force keeping planets in orbit is gravity from another, larger planet or mass. The larger the planet, the greater the gravitational force it will have. To give an example, the sun in our solar system keeps earth and all the other planets in our solar system in orbit because it has the greatest mass, meaning it also has the greatest gravitational force.
Is the distance between inner planets less or greater than the distance between the outer planets?
The inner planets are closer together than the outer ones.
Are the outer planets much closer together than the inner planets?
No. The reverse is true.
Is the distance between inner planets less than or greater than the distance between the outer planets?
The inner planets are closer together than the outer ones.
Which planets are closest together-the inner or the outer planets?
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are closer together compared to the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) in our solar system. The inner planets have shorter average distances between each other, resulting in a more compact grouping compared to the outer planets.
What keeps the plates from flying off into outer space?
The force of Gravity.
Why are the outer planets classified together?
Their characteristics are similar.
What characteristics do the outer planets have?
All of the outer planets are made up of hydeogen and helium and all have rings that surround them and are generally all bigger than the inner planets
What do the inner planets do more quickly than the outer planets?
because of gravitational force of the earth is more in inner planet
