A planet
How does gravity help planets and stars and solar system?
it keeps it in orbit
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
What is a large collection of gas's dust and stars held by gravity?
Galaxy
Binary stars can be used to calculate the of stars?
Double stars, also called binary stars, are valuable to astronomers because they are the only stars of which astronomers can easily calculate their mass. They are bound to each other by gravity and orbit about a common center. The time it takes for one star to orbit the other depends on the distance between the two stars and their masses.
A large rotating body that's held in orbit by a stars gravity?
A planet
Why do planets orbit stars and moons orbit stars?
Because stars have a greater amount of gravity
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
How does gravity affect the stars moon an planets?
Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the stars and the stars in orbit around the center of the galaxy. Gravity also holds the stars together against their own internal pressure.
How do stars in the galactic halo orbit?
They orbit as stars would in any other halo. It is gravity that causes everything to orbit and "spin around" Stars can also orbit around other stars called a binary orbit.
How does gravity cause the plant to orbit stars?
Plants don't orbit anything - planets do.
What attractive force keeps planets in orbit around stars?
Gravity.
How does gravity help planets and stars and solar system?
it keeps it in orbit
How are galaxies and stars formed?
stars are formed when particles of matter in space attract to each other beacause of gravity and form clumps slowy increasing their mass and gravity and attracting more particles eventually forming stars many stars orbiting or clustered around a mass large enough to have a great amount of gravity is a galaxy. these large masses are usually thought to be black holes. usually many galaxies orbit around a laarge black hole
What is the name when two stars are bound together gravitationally and orbit a common center of gravity?
The stars are said to be a "gravitational binary pair"
Why planets hanging in space around sun?
because the stars gravity pulls them in and holds them in orbit
What is 2 stars that orbit a center of gravity called?
That's called a double star.
