Gravity is determined by mass. Everything with mass has gravitational pull (including you). Planets with more mass have higher gravitational pulls

The atmosphere of the gas giant planets cannot escape into space because?

the gas giant planets have strong gravitational pulls that hold on to their thick atmospheres. Additionally, the high escape velocity prevents the gases from escaping into space. The cold temperatures of these planets also help in maintaining the integrity of their atmospheres.


Do other planets have gravitational acceleration?

Yes. They all do - any mass, especially large masses like planets, have a gravitational acceleration that pulls things towards them!


What did newton call the force that pulls all the planets towards the sun?

Gravitational Pull?


What occurs to the ocean tide when gravitational pulls at its strongest?

high tide


What type of force keeps the sun and planets in there places?

the suns gravitational pull pulls them toward it but the planets try to escape its gravity


What effect does the gravitational pulls have on the planets?

Gravitational pull gives planets their spheroidal shape (balanced by the outward push of matter, causing hydrostatic equilibrium) and also dictates their orbits, for example, their orbit around the Sun.


What pulls the planets to the sun?

The sun's gravity pulls the planets.


Why do all the planets revolve around the sun?

Planets revolve around the Sun due to gravitational force, which is strongest at the center of mass of a system. The Sun's immense gravity pulls the planets towards it, causing them to orbit around it in elliptical paths. This balance of gravitational forces keeps the planets in their orbits.


What are low high tides?

The gravitational pull of the moon pulls the ocean up on the shore this is called high tide and when the moon releases the gravitational pull it is called the low tide


Is it true that- gravity holds planets in orbit because planets are attracted to each other's gravitational force?

No, gravity holds planets in orbit around the sun because the sun's gravity pulls on them. This gravitational force between the sun and planets keeps them in their respective orbits. The force between planets themselves is much smaller and mainly affects their interactions with each other rather than their orbits around the sun.


Why do the planets all stay orbit around the sun and not drift on in an empty space?

Its because the gravitational field of the sun pulls the planets towards the sun and balances the intertia of the planets which make them want to move in a straight line.


What is the object in space that pulls on water in the oceans to cause tides?

The object in space that pulls on water in the oceans to cause tides is the Moon. Its gravitational force causes the water to bulge towards it, creating high tides.
