The force of gravity. All those objects have a force acting between them and the Sun. For the less massive objects the force is less, but mass and force are proportional so the force produces an acceleration that depends only on the object's distance from the Sun.
All the objects in orbit would travel in a straight line without a force acting on them, but the pull of the Sun causes them to accelerate or curve continuously towards the Sun. This is a consequence of the law of gravity and the laws of motion, discovered in the late 1600s.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, which includes both speed and direction.
What else can I help you with?
Are all planets held by a force called gravity?
Yes, all planets in our solar system are held in orbit around the Sun by the force of gravity. Gravity is what keeps celestial bodies like planets, moons, and asteroids moving in their respective orbits.
What force keeps planets around the sun?
Gravity.
What does Jupiter clean up or attract?
Large planetesimals from the outer solar system when they are on a trajectory that leads them to the inner solar system. This keeps large enough asteroids and comets from coming into the inner solar system. This was made very aparent during the comet that crashed into Jupiter in the 90's.
What keeps all of the planets in its orbit?
The gravitational force exerted by the Sun keeps all the planets in their orbits. This force balances the planets' tendency to move in a straight line and keeps them moving in elliptical orbits around the Sun.
What forces cause the planets to go around the sun and stay in their orbits?
The force of gravity between the planets and the sun is what keeps the planets in their orbits. Gravity pulls the planets towards the sun, but their forward velocity keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path around it. This balance between gravity and velocity enables the planets to stay in their orbits around the sun.
What does the sun's gravitational pull keep in orbit?
Planets, asteroids, meteors, comets, moons (which are also in orbit around their respective planets), dust particles, interplanetary gas.
What does the The Sun's gravitational pull keeps?
Planets, asteroids, meteors, comets, moons (which are also in orbit around their respective planets), dust particles, interplanetary gas.
What is everything that travels around the sun?
Many objects travel around the sun, including planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, and artificial satellites. The sun's gravitational pull keeps these objects in orbit around it, following predictable paths.
Does sun have gravity?
of course it does, its gravity is keeping all of the planets, asteroids and comets orbeting
Is gravity found on the moon and the earth?
Not only is gravity found on the Earth and the Moon, but on all objects in space. Gravity is what's holding you on the ground no matter how high you can jump. The Sun's gravity is so strong that it keeps the planets, moons, comets, and asteroids in orbit around it.
Are all planets held by a force called gravity?
Yes, all planets in our solar system are held in orbit around the Sun by the force of gravity. Gravity is what keeps celestial bodies like planets, moons, and asteroids moving in their respective orbits.
What keeps the planets on their path?
The gravity of there star keeps them on path and a planets moon is sun around by its planets gravitational force
What keeps the planets in the solar system in orbit around the sun?
The Sun's strong gravity keeps all the planets in orbit around it.
What force keeps comets asteroids and meteors in their orbits?
The force that keeps asteroids moving through space is inertia. The law of inertia is that a body remains in its state of rest or uniformed motion unless acted upon by a force.
What force keeps planets around the sun?
Gravity.
Do the planets revolve around the sun?
obviously all the nine planets of the solar systemrevolve around the sun! the sun like earth has gravitationalforce and the force is stronger this force hold all the nine planets to it
How many asteroids is there in space?
There is no way to determine an exact number for just in our Solar System, let alone all of space. The number keeps changing as they collide with each other either breaking off smaller asteroids or fusing together forming larger asteroids, or collide with planets or the sun and are destroyed. We can't see them around other stars, but there are inevitably some.
