What force holds a planet's atmosphere in place?
Gravity holds the atmosphere around the planet. Gravity is the force that attracts a body toward the center of the planet. For most purposes Newton's laws of gravity apply, with minor modifications to take the general theory of relativity into account.
What planets take more time than Saturn to orbit the sun?
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (which has been reclassified as a dwarf planet but its orbit remains the same). There is speculation of a tenth planet beyond the orbit of Pluto, and if it exists it would also take more time than Saturn to orbit the sun.
How many years would it take you to travel to the Planet Uranus?
it would take 15 years, if going at 20,000 mph.
How long does it take to get from planet to planet?
It differs. The planets are not evenly spaced apart. It would probably take at least several months up to to several years.
How close can you get to planet Neptune?
neptune is the eighth planet from the sun . Comment: You can get as close as you like, but you would need a very good spacecraft and it would take years to get there.
Does it take more force to pull a large item or more force to pull a small item?
The larger in weight would take more force Also, the larger if they are the same weight would take more force, because of friction and air resistance
How could one decrease the gravitational force between a planet and an object orbiting the planet?
Gravitational force depends only on the masses involved, and on the distance. Thus, to DECREASE the gravitational force, you would have to reduce the mass of the planet or the object (take some stuff away from it); or increase the distance.
What is life and death all a part of?
Life and death is a part of the natural cycle of the earth. If there was no life, this planet would be dead. If there was no death, this planet would be dead. Think about it. If there was no death, this planet would be over popularized, more and more recources would be needed/wanted and the planet can only make and take so much.
What would it take to move Jupiter's Europa Moon into Earth's orbit?
nothing. its impossible to get one planets moon to another planet. use your brain. its common sense. It would take enormous force to move this planetoid. If that force were delivered all at once the planetoid would disintegrate. If you were to use part of that force in rapid succession you may be able to move a planet. I.E. use of nuclear bombs on the side opposite the direction of intended movement could work if they were timed to hit at large enough intervals so as not to destroy the planet.
Which planet would take more time to make a complete orbit around the Sun?
The 1 that is furthest away
Would a net force of 100Newton cause more or less acceleration than a net force of 10Newton?
Take a look at Newton's Second Law. Other things being equal, more force will cause more acceleration.
How long would a planet take to revolve around the sun if it was an inner planet in between Mars and Jupiter?
If the planet was exactly in between Mars and Jupiter, it would take 3645.029 days.
What planet takes 400 years to get to that planet?
Not enough information: It isn't clear at what SPEED you want to travel to the planet. With current technology, the farthest known planet in the Solar System would take a few years to reach (at most 10-15 years or so); planets in other solar systems would take thousands of times more to reach.
What planet would take the shortest time to travel around?
the first planet mercury
How long would it take to get from planet to planet?
denpends on two things one: which planet two: ur speed
What force holds a planet's atmosphere in place?

What planet take the most time to orbit the sun?
Neptune. It would be Pluto, but Pluto is a dwarf planet ( a planet that was a planet, but decided that it wasn't a planet)
