How do earth and other objects move in space?
The movement of the planets (inertia) moves them perpendicular to the sun at about the same rate that the gravity from the sun pulls the planets in. The gravity of the sun is a little stronger as the earth is slowly, but continuously getting closer to the sun.
How do gravity and inertia keep the planet in orbit around the sun?
inertia keeps the planets moving and spinning , and gravity is a force that attracts all objects toward each other.
What were the two factors Isaac Newton concluded that combined to keep the planets in orbit?
1) The gravitational attraction between the planets and the Sun. 2) The "inertia" of the planets. That's their tendency to move in a straight line unless a force (gravity in this case) acts on them.
How does inertia and gravity combine to make the planets orbit the sun?
The sun's gravity is pulling the planets toward it and the planets inertia keeps them moving forward
What factors keep the planets in orbit?
Gravity and inertia
What force keeps the planets together?
Gravity and inertia.
How do moons orbit the planets?
the planets do not orbit the moon but the moon orbits the planets because of gravity and inertia
Which force is responsible for making planets and satellites travel in near circular orbits?
Gravity and inertia. Inertia keeps the planets moving while the gravity of the sun keeps the planets drawn to orbit in ellipses.
What force keeps the outer planets together?
Gravity and inertia.
Why do all the planets orbit around the sun?
Gravity and inertia
