What else can I help you with?
What do you call the path to the planets takes what keeps the planets on this path?
The path a planet takes is called an orbit.The planets are kept in orbit by the gravitational pull of the star (in our case the Sun) they orbit.
The earths gravity keeps the planets circling the sun?
Actually, it's the gravity of the sun that keeps the planets in orbit around it. The force of gravity between the sun and the planets causes them to be pulled towards the sun, while their momentum keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path.
What keeps the planets from being pulled into the sun?
The planets are kept in orbit around the sun due to the gravitational force between them. This force, which is a balance between the planet's inertia and the sun's gravitational pull, keeps the planets moving in a stable path around the sun.
What part does gravity play in the paths of the planets?
Gravity is the force that keeps the planets in their orbits around the sun. It pulls the planets towards the sun, while their forward motion keeps them from falling into it. Gravity also influences the shape and stability of the planets' orbits.
What do the planets orbit around the sun on?
a path called the 'orbit' which you used as a verb in the question, but it's also the noun used to denote the path in which the planet keeps orbiting
What force keeps planets and moons going in orbits?
Gravity is the force that keeps planets and moons in orbit. The gravitational pull between the planet or moon and the object they are orbiting around, typically a star like the sun, is what keeps them moving in a stable path. This balance between the gravitational force and the object's inertia causes them to continuously orbit in a closed path.
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 keeps the sun and the planets in the place?
Gravity keeps the planets together
What planet has to do with the sun?
All the planets in our solar system, including Earth, revolve around the Sun. The gravitational pull from the Sun keeps the planets in their orbit, moving around it in a specific path.
Which force is responsible for making planets and satellites travel in near circular orbits?
Gravity is the force responsible for making planets and satellites travel in near circular orbits around a central body, such as the Sun or a planet. The gravitational pull between the central body and the orbiting object keeps it in a stable, elliptical path.
Name the path on which planets travel?
The path on which planets travel is called their orbit.
What 2 things keep your planets in an elliptical orbit?
Gravity and velocity (or inertia), and they aren't things. They're forces.
