Why do the moons stay in orbit around Jupiter?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter due to the planet's strong gravitational pull. This gravitational force keeps the moons in check and prevents them from moving away into space. They orbit around Jupiter because of the balance between their inertia and the gravitational force pulling them towards the planet.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
What are the major bodies that orbit a star?
The major bodies that orbit a star like our Sun are planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. These objects are held in orbit by the star's gravitational pull and follow distinct paths around the star.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
Do all planets orbit the moon?
No. The planets orbit the sun.
Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Moons orbit around planets. They are natural satellites that are held in orbit by the planet's gravitational pull.
How are the planets held in orbit?
Planets are held in orbit around the sun by gravity, which is the force of attraction between objects. The sun's gravitational force keeps planets moving in a curved path around it. The speed of the planet's movement and the gravitational pull of the sun balance each other to keep the planet in a stable orbit.
Why do the moons stay in orbit around Jupiter?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter due to the planet's strong gravitational pull. This gravitational force keeps the moons in check and prevents them from moving away into space. They orbit around Jupiter because of the balance between their inertia and the gravitational force pulling them towards the planet.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
Are all planets held by a force called gravity?
Yes, all planets in our solar system are held in orbit around the Sun by the force of gravity. Gravity is what keeps celestial bodies like planets, moons, and asteroids moving in their respective orbits.
What are the major bodies that orbit a star?
The major bodies that orbit a star like our Sun are planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. These objects are held in orbit by the star's gravitational pull and follow distinct paths around the star.
Forces is responsible for keeping the planets in orbit around the Sun?
The solar system's planets, planetesimals, asteroids, and comets are held in orbit by the force of gravity, the mutual attraction between these objects and the Sun.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
Do all planets have an orbit?
Yes all planets have a orbit
