How do planets only orbit around the sun and not go everywhere in space?
The Sun's gravity pulls on the planets.
Is sun surrounded by the planets?
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.
Does the sun travel around the planets or do the planets travel around the sun?
The planets travel around the sun.
Is the space around the planets near the sun heated?
no because the atmosphere is what stores the heat
A star such as the sun and all of the object that revolve around it in space?
The solar system or the planets
Why do the planets all stay orbit around the sun and not drift on in an empty space?
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.
Does the sun travel around the sun or do planets travel around the sun?
The planets orbit (travel) around the Sun.
What will happen if planets do not follow their orbit around the sun?
planets will fall to the outer space ,they will collide with each other and they will melt or exploded
How are all of the planets kept in orbit around the sun?
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.
How Do Planets Travel Around The Sun?
the planets go around in circles around the sun
How does planets circle around the Sun?
Planets circle in an elliptical orbit around the Sun.
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.
