What keeps the planets the same distance from each other?
Actually, the planets aren't all the same distance away.
Why planets orbite around each other rather than crash due to gravity?
They keep running away from each other.
What is the distance between Venus and the other planets in the Solar System?
well they are millions of miles away from each other
Why are the planets in spaced out?
because of the gravitational pull of the other planets that are in line with each other
Characteristics of dwarf planet?
1) has not "*cleared its neighborhood"2) Small or undersized3) Has sufficient mass (as do all planets)*This means it is not strong enough to push the other planets away from it so they have their own places and they don't have to interfere with each other.
Where is Venus in the Solar System compared to the Earth?
In the solar system, Earth is the third planet from the sun. Venus is the second planet from the sun. The distance between Venus and the Earth varies as both the planets orbit the sun. For example, the closest the two planets are to each other as they are orbiting is about 42 million kilometres, yet the furthest away these two planets are from each other is about 258 million kilometres.
Do the planets get farther away from each other each year?
no, they stay in the same spot...
What keeps the planets the same distance from each other?
Actually, the planets aren't all the same distance away.
How many miles from Venus's to earth?
The distance from Venus to Earth changes according to where the two planets are in their orbits and therefore in relation to each other. When at their closest they are 23.7 million miles apart and when furthest away they are 162 million miles apart.
Are planets far away from each other?
Not as far apart as stars are from each other, but yes, they are a long way apart.
Why planets orbite around each other rather than crash due to gravity?
They keep running away from each other.
Why do the planets spin in a circle and not float away from each other?
because of the gravitational pull each induvidual planet has.
What is the distance between Venus and the other planets in the Solar System?
well they are millions of miles away from each other
What is an apojove?
An apojove is the spot which is furthest away from Jupiter in the orbit of each of its own satellites.
Which two countries are furthest away from each other?
Which two countries are furthest apart? Good question. It is Greenland and madagascar. they are 180,000 miles away from eachother. How can this be when the entire circumference of the earth is approx. 25,000 miles? Whomever posted the first part must have been drunk or something!
Why are the planets in spaced out?
because of the gravitational pull of the other planets that are in line with each other
Why does the moon not crash on earth but stay in space and not float away or into earth?
The moon and other planets and their satellites are held in space by the force of gravity from other planets and satellites. If the moon tried to drift off into space, gravitational forces from the Earth will keep it from floating away. It doesn't crash into the Earth because planets and moons pull AGAINST each other and keep each other from drifting away.* * * * *Only partly true.The moon does not float away because of the action of earth's gravity - whether you view this as a force or a distirtion of space-time in the moon's path.The moon does not crash into the earth, not because of other planets or satellites, but because of the momentum of its orbit around the earth.
