What keeps the sun in orbit in the milky way?
Gravity causes all orbits. It is believed that there is a "super massive" black hole at the center of the Milky Way, and most or all other galaxies, that serves as the primary source of gravity.
What of the sun's major influence on all of the objects within the Milky Way is called what?
gravity
Where is no gravity located?
There is nowhere that gravity is absent: it may be too weak to have any noticeable effect or the gravitational forces of two (or more) masses may be in balance. In outer space, the earth's gravitational force will be weak the sun's gravity will have a small effect on you anywhere within the solar system. And however small it is, there is the gravitational force of the Milky Way Galaxy acting on you.
What is milky wave?
milky wave is when ther is to poscents of gravity hits each other
What is the system of billions or stars held together by gravity?
A system of billions of stars held together by gravity is called a galaxy. The one we live in is called the Milky Way galaxy.
What is the force that stops the sun escaping the milky way?
gravity
What force keeps the arms of the milky way spining around its center?
gravity
Gina is trying to describe the force that both holds the Milky Way galaxy together and holds the Milky Way galaxy to other galaxies together in a cluster. Gina is describing .?
Gravity on both a galactic and intergalactic scale.
How fast does space junk fly?
by the no gravity in the milky way
Why is the canis major dwarf galaxy colliding with the milky way galaxy?
the milky ways gravity is pulling it in
What keeps the sun from floating away from the galaxy?
Gravity. From the Milky Way in this case.
What keeps the sun in orbit in the milky way?
Gravity causes all orbits. It is believed that there is a "super massive" black hole at the center of the Milky Way, and most or all other galaxies, that serves as the primary source of gravity.
Does our solar system float on the milky way?
No, there is nothing to "float" in. Like just about any object in outer space, the Solar System ORBITS the center of the Milky Way; it is moving in "free fall", meaning that gravity is the only force of any significance acting on the Solar System.
What of the sun's major influence on all of the objects within the Milky Way is called what?
gravity
Can force become gravity?
No. Gravity is a property of matter that produces force. But there's no way a force is going to 'become' gravity, although a constant linear acceleration would be indistinguishable from gravity.

Which type of forces are present in stars that they are stationary still they are not falling?
Gravity and inertia are the two forces that act on all matter in the universe. If there were only two stars in the universe and they were standing still, the force of gravity would cause them to eventually fall together and collide. But there are hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way alone, and billions of other galaxies out there, and NOTHING is standing still; everything is in motion. The primary forces that keep the stars from falling together is the rotation of the Milky Way; all the stars appear to orbit the center of the Milky Way.
