The suns gravitational pull causes the earth and other planets to the sun?
All the planets in the solar system are kept in orbit by the gravitational pull of the sun. The effect of the other planets and other bodies in the solar system is to change the shape of the orbits slightly but the sun is what keeps them in orbit around the sun.
Why do all the planets orbit the sun?
Not all the planets orbit the sun - other stars have planets too. But all the planets in our solar system, which is the system of our sun, revolve around the sun; otherwise they would be in other solar systems. All the planets we can see with our naked eye orbit the sun, since the planets orbiting the sun are the only ones close enough to earth to see without a telescope.
What is an orbit in outer space?
pathway that a celestial body follows. Planets, comets, asteroids orbit the Sun. Moons orbit their planets. The Solar System orbits the Galactic Center.It is the imaginary pathway that a body in space follows as it moves around another body. The earth and the other planets orbit the sun, and various moons orbit their host planets.
How many days moons take to round of the earth?
Our moon requires 27.3 days to orbit the earth. No other moon orbits our earth--they orbit other planets.
How does the gravity of the sun impact on earth?
The sun's gravity keeps the earth and the other planets in orbit around it
What star does the earth and other planets in the solar system orbit?
the sun
How do you define the Sun?
The sun is the star in which Earth and the other planets in the solar system orbit.
Does Mars orbit?
Mars orbits the sun, as does Earth and the other planets of the solar system.
In a geocentric theory which body do the other planets orbit?
The other planets - and all other bodies - orbit the earth.
The suns gravitational pull causes the earth and other planets to the sun?
All the planets in the solar system are kept in orbit by the gravitational pull of the sun. The effect of the other planets and other bodies in the solar system is to change the shape of the orbits slightly but the sun is what keeps them in orbit around the sun.
Do all the other planets orbit the sun?
Yes. Earth is one of eight planets in our solar system, all of which are in an orbit around our central star which we call the sun.
Does the sun or moon orbit the earth?
Earth's moon orbits the Earth however other planets have moons as well, often several per planet. All planets in our solar system orbit the sun, our closest star.
How long does Saturn take to orbit the planets in the solar system?
Saturn orbits the Sun like the other planets, it does not orbit anything else. One orbit for Saturn takes 29.4571 Earth years.
What holds Earth and the the other planets in their orbit?
Gravity
What do all the planets orbit around?
All the planets in OUR solar system orbit around the sun(which is a star). Planets in other solar systems orbit around other stars.
Sun is actually a star?
The sun is a star, the closest star to our earth. Indeed, our earth and the other planets of our solar system orbit the sun.
What is the difference between exoplanets and other planets?
Extra solar (or Exo) planets are planets that do not orbit the Sun. Planets in our solar system orbit the Sun.
