Planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus.
Newtonian physics explains that gravity pulls the planets in toward the Sun but inertia provides the centripetal force to keep them in their elliptical orbit.
Einsteinian physics explains that space itself is warped by the mass of the Sun (and slightly by the lesser mass of the planets) each planet travels in a straight line in this warped spacetime.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Why do planets appear to move through the background of stars?
Planets appear to move through the background of stars because they orbit the Sun at different speeds. As the Earth and other planets move in their orbits, their positions relative to the background stars change, causing them to appear to move across the sky. This is known as planetary motion.
Which planets move in an elliptical orbit?
All the planets move with an elliptical orbit, but with a very low eccentricity.
Do planets actually move back and forth continuously?
The planets orbit AROUND the sun, so technically not back and forth.
The planets aroud the sun move in a path called an?
The planets around the sun move in a path called an orbit. This orbit is the result of the gravitational pull between the planets and the sun, causing them to travel in a curved path around the sun.
How do planets move and what keeps them in place?
Planets move away by gravity not holding it together and also gravity holds planets together
What was ptolemys explanation for why the planets seemed to move at different speeds?
The planets move on little circles that move on bigger circles.
Do inner planets move?
Yes. All planets move in orbit around their host star.
How are planets distinguished from stars on the celestial?
planets appear to move
What is it called when planets move east to west?
Apparent motion of the planets.
Can i Move planets across states?
Planets naturally move in our sky over time and therefore are over different states.
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.
How do the inner planets move?
they move because of space eruptions
Why do the planets move?
Because of the gravity
Do planets move horizontally?
yes they do.
How do inner planets move?
They move because of the gravitational pull of the sun.
Do the planet's move around the sun?
The planets move in an act of gravity
