No, i think they would go hurtling off into space. No, all the planets in our solar system orbit the way they do because of the sun's gravitational pull on them.

What will happen if planets got out of their orbits?

Planets can't really get out of their orbits because of gravity; if gravity somehow stopped having an effect, the planets would continue in a straight inertial line with inertia from the point at which gravity stopped.


Why do planets continue to orbit around the sun?

The force of gravity keeps the planets in their orbits, and without it they would all go off in straight lines into interstellar space.


Why don't planets have the same orbit?

If they did then they would collide. They could merge into a larger planet or get blasted into space. In the latter case, the smaller parts would continue in individual orbits until they were attracted, by gravity, into other planets or coalesce into a new planet.


Could the Planets Survive Without the Sun?

No, the planets in our solar system rely on the Sun for light, energy, and gravity to maintain their orbits. If the Sun were to disappear, the planets would no longer have a source of heat and light, and they would eventually drift off into space in various directions.


What would happen if the planets did not move in their orbits?

i do not this answer that's why i am asking you this answer.


What will happen to the different planets which are revolving around the sun if there is no gravity?

If there was suddenly no gravity, the planets would continue to move at the same speed in the current direction they are facing in a straight line until a collision occurs. By the way, if gravity suddenly stopped, the laws of physics would suddenly, drastically change, because gravity is one of the four fundamental interactions.


What would happen if the planets did not move in their fixed path?

If the planets did not move in their fixed orbits they may dash each other.


Suppose you view the solar system from high above Earth's north pole what about planetary orbits will be true?

From that vantage point, you would observe the planets orbiting the Sun counterclockwise. The orbits will be nearly in the same plane, known as the ecliptic plane. Also, you would see that inner planets move faster in their orbits compared to outer planets.


What would happen to the orbits of the planets if the amount of gravity produced by the sun reduced to almost 0?

The orbits of the planets would all be much larger if the sun had less gravity. They might even just fly off free.


What will happen if the planets do not follow their own orbits?

Then the laws of physics would be broken. An impossibility.


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.


What planets does Mars revolve around?

Mars does not revolve around any planets, it is a planet in its own right. If it did, it would be called a moon. It orbits the sun directly.
