What else can I help you with?
What direction a planet would travel if gravity did not affect it?
Straight. If gravity did not pull a planet into an elliptical orbit, momentum would cause it to continue straight ahead at the same speed it had been moving. If the Sun's gravity were to magically disappear, the Earth would fly off into space at 67,000 miles per hour.
What are the planets that affect gravity?
every planet
In what direction does the force of gravity act on an object moving radially outward from the center of a planet?
The force of gravity acts in the opposite direction of the object's movement, pulling it back towards the center of the planet.
What features of a planet affect gravity?
mass and density
How does gravity affet the movement of planets?
Mainly, the Sun's gravity attracts a planet; as a result, the planet accelerates towards the Sun (the direction changes gradually, so the planet goes more in direction towards the Sun), resulting in the curved orbit.
How would a loss of mass affect a planet's gravity?
The greater the mass, the greater the force of gravity.
Do planets moons atmosphere effect its gravity?
No, a planet's moons and atmosphere do not directly affect its gravity. Gravity is primarily determined by the mass of the planet itself; the more massive the planet, the stronger its gravitational pull. While moons can influence tidal forces and an atmosphere can affect pressure and weather, they do not change the fundamental gravitational force exerted by the planet.
How Does Gravity Affect the Suns movement?
Actually the gravity cannot affect the suns movement. But without gravity, every planet would stop orbiting and sail off out of here in a straight line.
Is there a relationship between the distance a planet is from the sun and its surface gravity?
Yes, there is a relationship between a planet's distance from the sun and its surface gravity. The closer a planet is to the sun, the stronger the gravitational pull from the sun, which can affect the planet's own gravity. However, other factors, such as a planet's mass and composition, also play a significant role in determining its surface gravity.
How does the force of gravity affect the direction of motion of the planets?
earths rotation around the sun
How does the size of a planet affect the mass of a person?
It does not. Mass is independent of where an object is. Weight, however, will vary in direct proportion to the planet's gravity.
How does increasing the mass of your protective container affect the force of gravity on the container?
Increasing the mass of a protective container does not affect the force of gravity acting on it. The force of gravity is determined by the mass of the planet or celestial body the container is on and the distance from the center of that body. The mass of an object does not affect the force of gravity acting on it.
