What natural forces and law that keeps the planets in their orbit?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Gravitational forces as described by Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation.
Also important is the inertia of the planets and Newton's First Law of Motion is involved there.

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 keeps the planets in orbit about the sun?
The Sun has a powerful gravitational pull. This, combined with the velocities of the planets, keeps the planets in orbit.
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 gravity have to do with planets?
It keeps them in orbit.
What is the force that keeps planet in orbit?
the suns gravity keeps the planets in orbit
What forces act to hold a planet in orbit around the sun?
Gravity is the force that holds a planet in orbit around the sun. Inertia keeps the planets spinning.
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.
Could you name the forces the earth to orbit the sun?
The force of gravity keeps the Earth (and all the other planets) orbiting the Sun.
What keeps the planets and moons in their orbit?
gravity
What keeps planets in elliptical orbits?
Gravity and velocity (inertia) keeps planets in orbit around suns.
What gives planets an orbit?
the gravitational pull from the sun keeps the planets and other small things in the orbit of the sun.(;
Why do you think the planets do not collid?
As the planets orbit the sun, its gravity keeps them from colliding
