All the planets in the solar system are kept in orbit by the gravitational pull of the sun. The effect of the other planets and other bodies in the solar system is to change the shape of the orbits slightly but the sun is what keeps them in orbit around the sun.

What does gravity have to do with the motion of the planets?

The gravitational force between planets supplies the centripetal force that causes them to orbit each other.


What effects do other planets have on earth?

They have very minor gravitational effects. Not noticeable but can be calculated.


What is the difference between a planet's orbit and gravitational pull?

A planets gravitational pull is the force it exerts on other objects. The planets orbit is the path it takes due to gravity. Basically gravity causes the orbit.


What stops the moon from going to space?

It is captured in orbit around the Earth by the Earth`s gravitational pull. The same as the Earth and the other planets in our solar system are captured by the gravitational pull of the Sun.


Why do the earth moon and all the other planets revolve around the sun?

The planets revolve around the sun due to the force of gravity. Gravity causes objects with mass to be attracted to each other. The sun's massive gravitational pull keeps the planets in orbit around it.


Why does the earth turn around the sun?

because if the earth did not turn around the sun we would never EVER have daytime, only nightfall.


Why gravitational force of son didn't pull earth towards it?

Because Earth and all the other planets and moons have a gravitational pull. This pull is distributed so that everthing stays in orbit.


What is gravitational fields?

== == This is what keeps Earth in place. If there was no gravitational feilds, the Earth would crash into other planets, and space objects. It pushes the moon away from the Earth and the sun pushes the Earth away. Like repelling magnets. == == == == == == == ==

How does weight change on earth and other planets?

Weight on Earth is determined by the gravitational force between an object and the Earth. The weight of an object would be different on other planets because each planet has a different gravitational pull. Weight can change depending on the strength of the gravitational force, which varies based on the mass and size of the planet.
