What would happen to the planets if you took away the sun's gravity?

the planets would not receive heat from the sun and all life on earth would cease to exist. also the planets would not rotate or be held in place. the sun is what holds the planets together in orbit.

What would happen to the planets in the solar system if there was no gravity?
If there was no gravity between the Sun and the planets, the planets would each go their own ways; they would not stay by the Sun. If there was no gravitational force at all, the planets themselves would eventually disintegrate; it is the gravity that holds them together.
What will happen if the sun dies out?
Since the sun is the center of our solar system and all the planets revolve around it's gravity, if the sun's light goes away, all life on Earth will cease, but if the sun physically goes away, all the planets will either be consumed in it's explosion or will drift away.
If gravity or inertia stop working what would happen to the earth?
If gravity and Inertia stopped working the planet would fly or float away from he sun and get EXTREMELY cold. And everything will die.
What keeps the planets in your solar system from floating away?
The force of the Sun's gravity keeps them in their orbits.
Why outer planets take longer to orbit than inner planets?
Because gravity is stronger as it gets closer to the planet it is orbiting. and orbits are caused by the gravity of the planit they are rotating.
What would happen if the suns gravity did not pull the planets tword it?
The planets would no longer follow their orbital paths around the Sun. They would move away from the Sun and travel in straight lines.
What would happen if there was no gravity ?
If gravity suddenly went away, we would fall off and float in space <DEADDD!!!> ....................................................... If there had never been such a thing as gravity, there would be no planets or stars to create life to fall off of them. They were formed and placed due to gravity.
How do planets move and what keeps them in place?
Planets move away by gravity not holding it together and also gravity holds planets together
What will happen to a plane if there was no wind and gravity?
It would float away into space and implode.
What would happen to the planets in the solar system if there was no gravity?
If there was no gravity between the Sun and the planets, the planets would each go their own ways; they would not stay by the Sun. If there was no gravitational force at all, the planets themselves would eventually disintegrate; it is the gravity that holds them together.
What force stops the planets moving away from the sun?
Gravity
Do planets far away from the sun have less gravity Yes or no?
No.
Does the suns gravity keep the planets from floating away?
The planets have a tangential velocity, they are speeding along sideways relative to the sun. If there was no gravity, this velocity would take the planets away from the sun, but the sun has a huge gravitational force which counteracts this effect. The suns gravitational force attracts the planets in, against this tangential velocity. If the planets were to gradually slow down, then they would eventually spiral into the sun, but in space there is no drag, so the planets maintain their speed and their orbits.
Why planets do not move away through their orbit?
GRAVITY... gravity means that objects are "attracted" to other objects, and the larger the object, the more GRAVITY will "attract" the object. The sun's gravity is too large for the planets to overcome.
What would happen if we didn't have gravity would we float away?
Yes. And not only that. The Earth itself would fall apart.
What would happen to Earth's orbit if only gravity from the Sun were operating in Earth's motion?
it would push it away
What keeps the solar system in balance?
Gravity and motion. Gravity pulls the planets in and keeps them from flying away, while the velocity of the planets keeps them from being sucked in completely.
