because the stars gravity pulls them in and holds them in orbit
Planets orbit around the sun due to the gravitational force between the sun and the planet. The planet's velocity and distance from the sun are balanced in such a way that it follows a stable orbit path. This balance allows the planet to remain in a relatively stable position around the sun without drifting off into space.
no because the atmosphere is what stores the heat
The planets orbit (travel) around the Sun.
Its because the gravitational field of the sun pulls the planets towards the sun and balances the intertia of the planets which make them want to move in a straight line.
all the planets stay in orbit around the sun because of the sun's gravitational pull. The high orbital speed that keeps the planets from falling all the way into the sun and since there is no friction in the vacuum of space , that speed dosen't slow down.
Our Sun is mostly surrounded by space; but planets in the solar system do orbit the Sun (or more correctly, a common center of gravity near the Sun), so in a loose sense planets are around the Sun or move around it.
The Sun. There are 8 bodies classified as planets, and as of 2009 there are 5 classed as dwarf planets. There are many more objects with long orbits past that of Pluto, and these are being studied and classified.
Planets circle in an elliptical orbit around the Sun.
YES!!! Together with their sattelites(moons). The nine planets that orbit the Sun from nearest to Sun to furthest are; - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Asteroid Belt , Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. With the exception of Mercury and Venus, which have no sattelites, all the other planets have sattelites, which partner their parent planet on there orbit around the Sun. All the planets orbits the Sun in approximately the same plane. However, there are comets and meteors which orbit the Sun in different planes, Notably Halley's Comet.
Gravity is the attractive force between any two objects in space. It is responsible for the motion of planets around the Sun, moons around planets, and the formation of galaxies.
Circle around the sun some say the sun circles the planets but it does not
Planets travel around the Sun in elliptical orbits due to the gravitational pull of the Sun. This gravitational force keeps the planets in their respective paths, causing them to move in a continuous loop around the Sun. The speed at which a planet travels around the Sun depends on its distance from the Sun and the mass of the Sun.
