How does the gravity of the planets effect the mass?
the bigger the planet the more gravity it has because it needs to hold it self together so it has more gravity than smaller planets who require a small amount of gravity to hold themselves toghther
How does gravity keep the planets in order in the solar system?
Gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun. If planets were not subject to the gravitational attraction of the sun, they would fly off into interstellar space. In addition, gravity is also what holds planets together. If there were no gravity, the planets, and the sun, would disintegrate under the force of their own spin. There would be nothing left of the solar system but an expanding cloud of gas and dust.
What role does gravity play in keeping your solar system together?
It keeps the solar system together because without it we would be floating around. :)
What two things cause planets to orbit the sun?
i know only one and it's a good one, the sun's gravity pulls the planets from flying some where else EDIT: Gravity pulls objects together and angular momentum makes sure planets orbit
Are all planets held by a force called gravity?
Not all of the planets are held by gravity.
How do planets move and what keeps them in place?
Planets move away by gravity not holding it together and also gravity holds planets together
What keeps the sun and the planets in the place?
Gravity keeps the planets together
What force holds these planets together?
gravity
How does gravity affect the galaxy?
Gravity holds everything together in the galaxy. (planets)
What force keeps the planets together?
Gravity and inertia.
What two forces work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun?
The two forces that work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun are gravity and inertia.
What force keeps the outer planets together?
Gravity and inertia.
What causes planetesimals to stay together forming planets when they collide?
Gravity.
Could you land on the outer planets?
No. The outer planets do not have solid surfaces. Those planets are made of gases held together by gravity.
What are all the all gasy planets?
gassy planets are made of gas that is stuck together by gravity. Also the answer is in the question.
How does gravity maintain the shape of the solar system?
Gravity pulls in the sun and the planets to stay together in the orbit . The planets have gravitational force between them so they wont fall out.
How does the gravity of the planets effect the mass?
the bigger the planet the more gravity it has because it needs to hold it self together so it has more gravity than smaller planets who require a small amount of gravity to hold themselves toghther
