Why doesnt mercury fall into the sun Many say it is due to gravity But gravity between what?

the ansewer is not gravity. Gravity is what keeps it around the sun. you see mercury has linear motion, which just means it is going strait. if the sun had no gravity mercury would simply fly past the sun and out of the solar system. Also if mercury had no linar motion it would simply fall strait into the sun. so.. it is the balance of gravity with mercury's linear motion that keeps it in orbit around the sun.


Is the pull of gravity from other planets the same as Earth?

No. The gravitational pull at the surface of a planet depends on that planet's mass and radius. Jupiter has the strongest gravity of any planet in the solar system: 2.53 times the surface gravity on Earth. Mercury has the weakest surface gravity at just 37% the gravity on Earth.


Which planets in the solar system exsert the greatest force of gravity?

What controls the motions of the planets?

Gravity is what sets the planets in motion. The force that keeps them in motion is known as inertia in the law of physics.


What force is responsible for the orbit of the planet in the solar system?

That would be gravity and inertia.

Why is the surface gravity of Pluto the weaker than that of the planets in our solar system?

Pluto has a weaker surface gravity than a planet because it has much less mass than a planet has.
