According to Newton's Laws governing the motion of an object, the planets would simply head straight out from the point the gravity disappeard. Interestingly though, I wonder what the chances would be that Jupiter could pick up some of the smaller planets.

What was the reason when the moon move if force of gravity suddenly disappeared and moon move if inertia suddenly disappeared?

If gravity suddenly disappeared, the moon would fly out into space in a straight line. If the moon suddenly stopped moving it would fall straight into Earth.


How would a planet move if the sun suddenly dissapears?

It is unlikely to happen, at least in my life time, which is a great comfort to me. But, as we and the other planets in our solar system orbit round the sun because of the sun's attraction, if the sun suddenly disappeared, there would be nothing to stop us being flung outwards into space.

How would a planet move if thew sun suddenly disappeared explain?

(Please note that in real life, masses can't simply "disappear".) For 8 minutes and 20 seconds (in the case of Earth), or for less or more time, depending on the distance of the planet from the Sun, the planet would continue orbiting the place where the Sun was. After that, the change in the gravitational field will have had enough time to reach Earth; the planet will no longer "feel" the pull of the Sun, and will continue moving in a straight line.


How can you move a planet?

Moving a planet would require unrealistic amounts of energy. The most plausible way would involve using propulsion systems like rockets or gravitational assists from nearby objects, but even then, the technology to move a planet does not currently exist.


In what type of solar system do planets travel around the sun?

That's the normal configuration - for planets to travel around their central star. If the planet would NOT move, it would quickly fall into the central star.That's the normal configuration - for planets to travel around their central star.

How long time will earth move in its orbit if the sun suddenly disappeared?

If the sun Sol suddenly vanished, the earth would continue on a straight line; in other words, its orbit about Sol would be over/stopped immediately.


Is it possible for the Earth to stop spinning?

Yes, it is theoretically possible for the Earth to stop spinning, but it would have catastrophic consequences for life on the planet. The Earth's rotation creates the day-night cycle and affects the planet's climate and weather patterns. If the Earth were to suddenly stop spinning, the oceans and atmosphere would continue to move, causing extreme winds and changes in temperature. This would likely lead to widespread destruction and loss of life.
