The planets revolve around the sun because of the sun's gravitational pull. The larger the object is the more gravitational pull it has therefore the planets revolve around the sun and the moon revolves around the Earth.

Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
What makes planets revolve around a star?
Gravity isn't it?
Why do the planets stay in there orbits as they revolve around the sun?
because of the gravity the sun has and also the planets have gravity turning around the sun
Why do planets in your solar system revolve around the sun and not other planets?
the sun's gravity
What makes planets revolve around the sun?
Inertia (resistance to a change of force) and gravity (force of attraction) makes them revolve.
What Planets revolve around the sun along what path because of gravity?
Elliptical
Can planets and dwarf planets revolve around the sun?
Yes, they revolve around the sun in their orbits. Their orbits depend on their weight, which would determine the weight of gravity in individual cases, and the planets are controlled by their own gravity and the centrifugal and centriputal forces always in effect.
Why do all the planets revolve around the sun?
All planets revolve around the sun because it has a strong gravitational pull.
Why do the planets and other celestial objects in our solar system revolve around the Sun?
because of GRAVITY
What caues planets to revolve around the sun?
The sun has a large mass of gravity. And the sun uses that gravity to keep us from flying away. Even though we try to, the sun keeps us in balance. All the movement on the planets move the planets farther away if we didn't have the suns gravity. And because there is no friction in space we keep on moving around very slow. But the farther away the planet is. The slower it goes around.
Do planets revolve around the sun along a set track?
Planets revolve on their axis. Separate to this motion, they also orbit the Sun. The force of gravity and the momentum of the objects keep them going.
If a planet has less gravity will it take longer to revolve around the sun?
No, it is the sun's gravity that affects the planets revolutions. The planet's distance from the sun is also very important in the time it takes to revolve around the sun.
