YES PALNETS DO HAVE INERTIA ANYTHING THAT HAS MASS OR TAKES UP SPACE HAS INERTIA.OBJECTS WITH GREATER MASS HAVE GREATER INERTIA.

What two forces work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun?

The two forces that work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun are gravity and inertia.


What were the two factors Isaac Newton concluded that combined to keep the planets in orbit?

Isaac Newton concluded that the force of gravity and the forward motion of the planets combined to keep them in orbit around the Sun. The force of gravity pulls the planets towards the Sun, while the forward motion of the planets creates the centrifugal force that counteracts gravity, leading to stable orbits.


What 2 things keep your planets in an elliptical orbit?

Gravity and velocity (or inertia), and they aren't things. They're forces.


How does the inertia hold the planets together?

interia cant hold planets together. here is the definition for INERTIA: Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest. It is represented numerically by an object's mass.Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest. It is represented numerically by an object's mass.


How does inertia and gravity affect the orbital motion planets?

Inertia and gravity are fundamental forces that govern the orbital motion of planets. Inertia, as described by Newton's first law of motion, causes planets to continue moving in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. Meanwhile, gravity, the attractive force between masses, pulls planets toward the sun, creating a curved path. The balance between these two forces results in stable orbits, where planets continually fall toward the sun but also move forward, preventing them from crashing into it.

Do inertia and magnetism hold the planets in their revolutionary paths around the sun?

no. inertia and gravity hold them in their paths.


How does inertia affect your solar system?

Inertia causes celestial bodies in the solar system to continue moving along their current paths unless acted upon by an external force. This is why planets orbit the Sun and moons orbit planets in a stable manner, as their inertia keeps them in motion. Changes in their orbits or paths would require a significant force to overcome their inertia.
