"Gravity" is responsible for the existence of planetary orbits, and for their shapes
and periods. It's also the reason for the spherical shapes of the planets, and for
the existence of atmospheres, in the case of those planets that have any.

Why did earth and the other planets in our solar system develop layered structures?
Gravity and heat.
What holds the planets in their orbits?
Gravity holds the planets in their orbit
What force keeps all the planets and all the other heavenly bodies in their place?
The force of attraction between heavenly bodies is called gravity. Usually, the solar system has the planets all kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun.
What is the orbit of the sun due to gravity?
The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).
Does any other planet have gravity?
Yes. All planets have gravity.
How does gravity of the sun affect earth and other planets?
the sun holds 98% of the solar system.
Does earth have the most gravity compared to the other planets?
No. Of the planets in this solar system, Jupiter, by far, has the strongest gravity.
Why do planets in your solar system revolve around the sun and not other planets?
the sun's gravity
What affect does gravity have on the planets?
The planets' own gravity has made them spherical. Also there are other effects such as their ability to retain an atmosphere, etc. The Sun's gravitycauses the orbits of the planets.
How does gravity keep planets and other objects in the Solar System in orbits?
easy gravity :)
Why does earth have gravity and other planets don't?
The other planets do have gravity.
Are all planets affected by the sun?
All planets and other objects in the solar system orbit the Sun because of its gravity.
Why did earth and the other planets in our solar system develop layered structures?
Gravity and heat.
What holds the planets in their orbits?
Gravity holds the planets in their orbit
Why do the planets and other celestial objects in our solar system revolve around the Sun?
because of GRAVITY
What force keeps all the planets and all the other heavenly bodies in their place?
The force of attraction between heavenly bodies is called gravity. Usually, the solar system has the planets all kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun.
Does the sun exerts gravity on other planets but does not exert gravity on earth?
Gravity is not picky. The sun's gravity holds everything in the solar system in place, by definition. That includes earth.
