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
Do all planets stay in one place or do they revolve in orbit?
The planets turn about their axes (rotate), and move in orbits about the sun (revolve). They are all in dynamic motion all the time. Welcome to the music of the spheres. Planets (all of them) are continually in motion. They all revolve on their axes and move about the sun in their orbits. This is the music of the spheres.
What forces cause the planets to go around the sun and stay in their orbits?
gravity
How do planets stay on orbit?
The gravity of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits. They stay in their orbits because there is no other force in the Solar System which can stop them.
What early astronomer discovered why planets stay in orbit?
Nicolaus Copernicus discovered why planets stay in orbit when he found that the planets revolve around the sun. He is credited with starting the Scientific Revolution through this discovery.
Do planets stay in their orbits because of gravity?
no
Why planets and moons of planets stay in their orbits?
The forces of gravity between two masses are the cause of all orbits.
How do planets stay in orbit around the moon?
the moon orbits around the planet, not the other way around; gravity keeps it orbiting
Why does moons orbit the planets?
because the planets' gravity pull them so that they do not go away and the moons revolve around them with a constant speed so they stay in their orbit
Which astronomer discovered why planets stay in their orbits?
Isaac Newton
