What planet that does not rotate but has its own orbit?
All the planets rotate (have their own day)
Do most planets have moons that orbit around them?
Yes, most planets do have moons that orbit around them. In our own solar system, six out of eight planets have moons, and the dwarf planet Pluto also has moons. Only the two innermost planets, Mercury and Venus, do not have moons.
What force keeps a satilite in orbit?
yo mamas so fat she creates her own gravity, thus holding satellites in orbit
How does the sun hold the planets in orbit?
The Sun's gravity is trying to pull the planets towards it. But the planets have their own velocities and all the Sun's gravitational attraction is needed to stop the planets moving away from the Sun. The result is that the planets orbit the Sun.
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.
Why planets stay in orbit as they revolve around the sun?
The planets stay in orbit because of the gravitational attraction between the individual planets and the sun. Their rotational velocity makes them stay in a stable orbit instead of spiraling into it.
The gravitational force of the sun keeps planets in its own orbit what is the name of the force?
Gravity.
What keeps the planets and sun in orbit?
The question probably means "What keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun?" The answer to that is : The Sun's gravitational attraction provides the force needed to keep the planets in orbit. This force doesn't pull the planets any closer to the Sun, but it stops the planets moving away (at a tangent to their orbits) due to their own velocities.
How does gravity affect the stars moon an planets?
Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the stars and the stars in orbit around the center of the galaxy. Gravity also holds the stars together against their own internal pressure.
Why do the planets do not collide?
They are in their own orbit
Does each of the eight planets in our solar system have its own orbit?
Yes, each of the 8 major planets has its own orbit, with no asteroids or other objects in its path.
Are stars moons?
No. Stars are their own class of of objects. In simple terms planets orbit stars and moons orbit planets.
Do any planets collide in orbit?
No they each have its own orbit around the sun and they do not collide
What planet that does not rotate but has its own orbit?
All the planets rotate (have their own day)
How many steps did the eight planets take to finished around the orbit?
Planets do not take steps. Each planet has its own orbit and is is different.
What will happen when the planets do not follow their own orbit?
theyll be doomed
Dose all the planets orbit the sun?
All the planets in our solar system orbit our sun. Recently other suns, far out in Space, have been discovered to have their own planets.
