Great question ... because the answer is so important to understand.
Our common experience in daily life is: A moving object, with no forces acting on it, stops.
The fact is: A moving object, with no forces acting on it, keeps going,
with constant speed and in the same direction.
The answer to the question is:
The planets continue to move (and spin) because there is no force
acting on them to cause them to stop moving (or spinning).
What else can I help you with?
How would the planets move if the sun and planets did not have gravitational pull between them?
If there had never been gravitational pull then none of the would have formed. If the gravitational pull was suddenly switched off then each body would continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed.
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 was ptolemys explanation for why the planets seemed to move at different speeds?
The planets move on little circles that move on bigger circles.
Do inner planets move?
Yes. All planets move in orbit around their host star.
How are planets distinguished from stars on the celestial?
planets appear to move
Why do the 8 planets keep orbiting the sun?
The 8 planets continue to orbit the sun due to a balance between the sun's gravitational pull and the planets' forward motion, which creates an elliptical orbit. This balance allows the planets to constantly move around the sun in a stable manner.
Why the planets keeps on their orbits?
The planets continue on their orbits due to a balance between the gravitational force pulling them toward the sun and their velocity providing the necessary centripetal force to keep them in motion. This balance creates a stable orbit as the planets move around the sun.
What is it called when planets move east to west?
Apparent motion of the planets.
Can i Move planets across states?
Planets naturally move in our sky over time and therefore are over different states.
What would happen if the planets did not move in their fixed path?
If the planets did not move in their fixed orbits they may dash each other.
How do the inner planets move?
they move because of space eruptions
Why do planets continue round the sun?
So they can get some light.
