The sun's magnetic field is so powerful, it is able to keep all of the 8 planets orbiting around it (Pluto is not a planet!).
----------------------
Wrong. (Except about Pluto).
Gravity. Objects are attracted to other objects by gravity. The sun is so large compared to everything else in our solar system, it has the most gravitational influence. As the earth orbits the sun, centrifugal force wants to spin the planet into deep space, and the gravity of the sun keeps that from happening. The result is an orbit.
well duh, that is basically what i meant...
What else can I help you with?
Does the sun orbit Earth?
No, the sun does not orbit Earth. Earth orbits around the sun.
How does the sun stay in orbit around the sun?
The Sun's gravity keeps the Earth (and all the planets) in orbit around it. Yes, but obviously there's more to it or the planet would go into the Sun. It is the Earth's orbital velocity ( technically known as its tangential velocity) which, together with the force of gravity, keeps the Earth in orbit.
Does it take the sun 1 year to orbit the earth?
The sun doesn't orbit the earth, and it takes one year for the earth to orbit the sun.
Would the earth stay in orbit without the sun?
Without the suns pull of gravity, the Earth and any other planet would move in a straight line. It is the sun that forces the planets to move in an orbit.
Which two planets orbit the sun not the earth?
All the planets in our solar system orbit the Sun, not the Earth.Mercury and Venus orbit between the Sun and the Earth's orbit.
When will the earth orbit the sun?
The Earth does a complete orbit around the sun in 365 days.
How much time for earth to orbit the sun?
It takes a year or the earth to orbit the sun.
How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
How long does it take for Mars to orbit the sun compared to Earth?
It takes Earth about 365 Earth days to orbit the sun. It takes Mars about 687 Earth days to orbit the sun. This means it takes Mars about 1.88 times longer to orbit the sun than Earth.
The time it takes for the earth to orbit the sun?
Our earth takes 365.25 days to orbit the sun .
What planets orbit between the sun and earth?
Mercury and Venus orbit between the Sun and Earth.
What do you call the path on which the Earth moves around the sun?
The name of the path the earth takes around the sun is known as the orbit. The earth takes slightly over 365 to complete its revolution round the sun.
