The force of gravity on an object is its weight.
Masses come in two types, which are thought to be equal. Inertial mass is one type, and gravitational mass is the other type, and, repeating, they are thought to be the same.

What is a force that resists motion?
A force that resists motion is inertia.
What force keeps the planets together?
Gravity and inertia.
What force counteracts a planet's inertia and keeps the planet in its orbit?
Gravity counteracts this inertia, usually the gravity of a body much larger than itself.
Is the force that every object in the universe exerts on every objects?
Gravitation is the only force that acts universally.
The force that opposes the motion of an object?
Gravity. The inertia of an object will keep it moving until an opposing force stops it.Friction.Called inertia. To accelerate a body the force is mass times acceleration. No force = no acceleration. People say " the force is opposed by the massacceleration"
Between velocity netforce inertia and gravity which is the force that resists motion or movement?
Gravity.
What force keeps the outer planets together?
Gravity and inertia.
What is the force that along with inertia keeps the planets in their orbits?
gravity
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.
What makes planets revolve around the sun?
Inertia (resistance to a change of force) and gravity (force of attraction) makes them revolve.
What keeps the planets and the sun in place?
Gravity, inertia, and gravitational force.
What force keeps the moon in orbit round the earth?
Gravity and Inertia
