Why do the planets orbit the sun What is the shape of those orbits?
Planets orbit the sun because gravity keeps them from escaping, and momentum keeps them moving forward. The orbits are elliptical, which is like an oval.
The earths gravity keeps the planets circling the sun?
Actually, it's the gravity of the sun that keeps the planets in orbit around it. The force of gravity between the sun and the planets causes them to be pulled towards the sun, while their momentum keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path.
Which force keeps the space station in orbit?
The force of gravity keeps the space station in orbit as well as inertia that keeps the space station moving in a straight line.
I am an invisible pulling force that keeps the planets in orbit around the sun what amyou?
There are TWO forces that keeps objects in orbit; gravity and inertia. Everything is in motion. The force of inertia, the momentum that an object has BECAUSE it is moving, KEEPS the object moving - at a constant speed and in the same direction. But if inertia alone ruled, all of the planets would fly out away from the Sun. Another force must tie things together, and that is gravity. Gravity ties every mass to every other mass, pulling them together with a force that is proportional to their masses - but which decreases proportionally to the SQUARE of the distance between them.
How does the sun hold Earth in orbit?
The sun's gravitational pull creates a centripetal force that keeps Earth in its orbit. Earth's forward momentum keeps it from falling into the sun while the sun's gravity keeps it from moving away. This delicate balance results in Earth moving around the sun in a stable orbit.
What keeps things moving in a circle?
gravity keeps us in a circle
What keeps the earth moving?
The Gravity and Rotation in our solar system.
What does gravity do to two objects?
keeps them on the ground, because gravity keeps them down
What keeps the planets moving their orbit around the sun?
The pull of the Sun's gravity.
What force keeps the planets moving forward in their orbits?
The force you seek is gravity.

How is orbit and gravity related?
When it an object in space in moving it will keep moving at the same speed with the property of inertia. Then moon is an object that has inertia. Gravity keeps the moon from going off into outer space but inertia keeps the moon from crashing into the moon. Gravity and inertia have to be balanced in order for an object to remain in orbit.
Which force keeps the space station in orbit?
The force of gravity keeps the space station in orbit as well as inertia that keeps the space station moving in a straight line.
What keeps us moving?
The nucleus is the thing that keeps us moving because, oh just go to biology4kids.com
What are gravity and friction?
Gravity is a force that keeps us on the ground and friction is a force that either stops your feet from moving or doesn't do anything at all!
