What else can I help you with?
Why did earth and the other planets in our solar system develop layered structures?
Gravity and heat.
Is the mass and gravity of Earth used as a standard of comparison with other planets?
Yes, Earth's mass and gravity are frequently used as a standard of comparison with other planets in our solar system and beyond. Scientists use Earth as a reference point for understanding the characteristics of other planets and celestial bodies. Earth's mass and gravity influence many aspects of our daily lives and the planet's ecosystem.
What force keeps all the planets and all the other heavenly bodies in their place?
The force responsible for keeping planets and other heavenly bodies in their place is gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature that causes objects with mass to be attracted to each other. This gravitational force between celestial bodies keeps them in orbits around each other.
What is gravity and how does it affect planets and the oceans?
'Gravoty' is an attraction between any two or more objects, be those objects atoms, protons or planets. stars andything in between. The planets have gravity , the Sun has gravity. They are attracted to each other. So why do they not 'crash' into each other? Because, the planets are moving with an acceleration. This acceleration together with the planets mass creates are force (F = ma). This force is balanced by the Sun's force of gravity. So the forces are in balance, so the planets orbit the Sun and not fall into the Sun. The oceans on Earth, being liquid, will be attracted to the Moon by Lunar gravity. So which side of the Earth the Moon is on , will be the 'High Tide'. This is balabnced 'Like a wheel balance', by a counter High Tide on the opposite side of the Earth, from the Moon.
Is there gravity on other planets in the solar system?
Yes there is gravity on other planets. In fact, there is gravity on object that has mass. That gravity is just really small for objects with little mass. We only see gravity like we experience on Earth when the mass becomes really large. If you require proof that those other planets have a gravitational pull you need only remember that NASA has sent multiple space probes to other planet and put them into orbit around that planet. An impossible feat for an object what has no 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.
Why did earth and the other planets in our solar system develop layered structures?
Gravity and heat.
Are all planets affected by the sun?
All planets and other objects in the solar system orbit the Sun because of its gravity.
Does Saturn's ring has gravity?
Yes, Saturn's rings do have some gravity, but it is very weak compared to the gravity of larger objects like planets and moons. The gravity from Saturn's rings is not significant enough to affect spacecraft or other objects passing through the ring system.
Why do the planets and other celestial objects in our solar system revolve around the Sun?
because of GRAVITY
How do planets stay on orbit?
The gravity of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits. They stay in their orbits because there is no other force in the Solar System which can stop them.
Does the sun use gravity to stay in the middle of the solar system?
In a sense. The planets all orbit the sun because it contains about 99.9% of the mass of the solar system. The sun wobbles somewhat due to the gravity of the planets, but does not move very far.
