What two things keep the planets in orbit?

The gravitational force from the Sun keeps planets in orbit around it. Additionally, the forward motion of the planets balances the pull of gravity, preventing them from falling into the Sun.


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 two factors act to keep the planets in orbit around the sun?

definetly Gravity and Inertia


What are the 2 factors that keep the planets in orbit?

The two factors that keep planets in orbit are gravity and the forward motion they gained during their formation. Gravity pulls the planet towards the sun, but the forward motion prevents the planet from falling into the sun, leading to a stable orbit.


How many planets orbit around Mars?

No planets orbit around Mars. There are two moons that orbit around Mars.


What are two things that work together keeping planets in their orbits around the sun?

Gravity and the laws of motion, specifically Newton's laws of motion, work together to keep planets in their orbits around the sun. Gravity from the sun pulls the planets towards it, while the inertia of the planets moving in a straight line causes them to travel in an elliptical orbit around the sun.


What planets orbit mars?

Mars has two small moons named Phobos and Deimos, but no planets orbit it.


Which two planets orbit the sun not the earth?

All the planets in our solar system orbit the Sun, not the Earth.Mercury and Venus orbit between the Sun and the Earth's orbit.


What is One of the nine things circling the sun?

One of the nine planets that orbit the sun in our solar system is Earth.


What keeps the planets in orbit around the sun?

Gravity, combined with the velocities of the planets, keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.Gravity between any body, such as a planet, and the Sun is one factor. Also the planet has a velocity. These two things combine to keep the planet in orbit around the Sun.Gravitation. The suns gravitational pull. The huge mass of the sun means it has a huge gravitational pull, keeping all of the planets in place. There is also the planets velocity that would take the planet away from the sun if there was no gravity, so these two forces act against each other.


What is the definition of the two planets?

round and orbit the sun


What are two things that keep the moon in a nearly circular orbit around the sun?

Gravity and velocity.
