What keeps the planets in our solar system in orbit around the Sun?
The Sun's strong gravity keeps all the planets in orbit around it.
What keeps the planets in your solar system from floating away?
The force of the Sun's gravity keeps them in their orbits.
Why is earth's gravity so important to life on earth?
Basically, If the sun had no gravity we would be drifting off into space and we wouldn't orbit anything. but Because the sun has gravity it pulls the planets in, allowing them to orbit the sun. Without the gravity of the sun there would be nothing to stop us from flying out into the cold darkness of space. As a matter of fact without the force of gravity there would be nothing if that could exist but an infinitesimally fine misty characterless soup that would never bind together. Whose solar system?
What keeps us from floating off into the sky and keeps the planets in orbit around the sun?
gravity?
Which force keeps venus in orbit around the sun?
Like all other planets and other objects in the solar system, including you, Venus is kept in orbit by the Sun's gravity, which is exacty balanced by its acceleration towards the Sun, which appears as a continuous inward curve towards the Sun.
What keeps the planets and other solar system objects in orbit around the sun?
The force of gravity is what keeps planets and other objects in orbit around the sun, along with the angular momentum of the planets and objects. Without gravity, they would just fly away into space, and without angular momentum, they would just fall into the sun. But both of those together produce orbital motion.
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 effect does the sun have on the outer planets?
Its gravity keeps them in their orbits, just like all the objects in the solar system.
What keeps the planets in our solar system in orbit around the Sun?
The Sun's strong gravity keeps all the planets in orbit around it.
What major force keeps the planets and everything in the solar system in orbit around the sun?
gravity
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 effect does the sun have on your solar system?
The suns gravitational pull keeps all the planets revolving around it. Without it, all the planets would go flying off into who knows where (including Earth) and the planets would of course crash into other objects and everything and everyone on Earth would die.
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 planets in elliptical orbits?
Gravity and velocity (inertia) keeps planets in orbit around suns.
Does everything in the solar system revolve around the sun?
Because the sun's gravitational pull keeps the planets in orbit.
How do objects in your solar system stay in their objects?
Gravity is the force which keeps them there.
What keeps the solar system in balance?
Gravity and motion. Gravity pulls the planets in and keeps them from flying away, while the velocity of the planets keeps them from being sucked in completely.
