What provides the centripetal force required for planetary motion?
the mutual forces of gravitational attraction between the planet and the sun
Are there unbalanced or balanced foces on Mercury?
The Sun attracts Mercury; that is an unbalanced force, that causes Mercury to accelerate towards the Sun.
What must you know to find the magnitude of the gravitational force of attraction between the earth and the sun?
Gravitational force= G*m1*m2/r^2 G - universal gravitational constante m1 - mass of object 1 m2 - mass of object 2 r - distance between the objects
What is the attraction between any two heavenly bodies?
Gravity. The sun has a wide gravitational field, and so the planets in the solar system orbit around the sun, as they are caught in the gravitational field.
What is the force of gravity?
It is the force of attraction existing between any two objects in the Universe that possess mass. It is the most important and weakest force. It is the weakest force because its effect is seen only when there are relatively large masses involved. e.g Sun(huge mass) Earth(large mass) Force of gravity keeps Earth in orbit around the sun. Earth (large mass) we (tiny mass compared to the Earth). Force of gravity keeps us bound to the Earth. It is an attractive force that is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
What does Mercurys atmosphere cause?
Mercury has virtually no atmosphere due to its proximity to the Sun and its relatively low gravitational attraction force
Is there a stronger gravitation attraction between the Sun and Neptune?
No, the strength of gravitation attraction between two celestial bodies depends on their masses and the distance between them. The Sun has a much larger mass than Neptune, so it exerts a stronger gravitational force on the planet. However, the distance between the Sun and Neptune is much greater than the distance between the Sun and Earth, so the gravitational force between the Sun and Neptune is weaker than the force between the Sun and Earth.
Force of attraction between earth and sun?
Gravitation or Gravity
What are the advantages of Rutherford's atomic model?
The electrostatic force of attraction between electrons and nucleus was likened to the gravitational force of attraction between the revolving planets and the Sun.
Earth orbits the sun as a result of a centripetal force that is caused by?
The mutual force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and Sun.
What does atmosphere cause?
Mercury has virtually no atmosphere due to its proximity to the Sun and its relatively low gravitational attraction force
Which force holds Earth in its orbit?
The mutual force of gravitational attraction between the sun and the earth.
What is the zone of the sun?
i think it is the force of attraction between it's particles which bounds it .
What planet has the greatest attraction to the sun?
Mercury because it is nearer and you will catch attraction of the sun and a better view of the sun
What is the connective zone of the sun?
i think it is the force of attraction between it's particles which bounds it .
What is the gravitational attraction between planets and sun?
with this form and the rotation of mercury this can lead to travel
What force holds the earth in its orbit round the sun?
That's the mutual gravitational attraction between the sun and the earth.
