What keeps the planets in the solar system apart from each other?
gravitational pull between planets The gravitational relationship that each planet has with the sun is much stronger than the gravitational effect that planets have on each other. There are some effects that the planets have on one another called perturbations. These are minor and would never cause the planets to come dangerously close together. The planets originally formed in very much the same orbits that they occupy today. Any large chunks of material or large clouds of gas that were between the known orbits long ago got taken up by one of the adjacent planets. This is the process of 'clearing the neighborhood' that is part of the definition of planet, and it is the main reason why planets are far enough apart not to have an overly strong effect on neighboring planets.
What is the planet made outof?
Planets are made out of matter. I can't be a whole lot more specific until you tell me which planet you mean. The web site "The Nine Planets" at www.nineplanets.org has a pretty good description of each of the planets, and what they are made of.
What is the force of gravity at the surface of the eight planets called?
It is each planet's surface gravity.
Why do the planets spin in a circle and not float away from each other?
because of the gravitational pull each induvidual planet has.
Do The planets maintain circular orbits around the Sun?
The orbit of the planets in our Solar system are not perfectly circular, but eliptical. Each planet also has its own unique orbit, no two planets share an identical orbit. Because of the elliptical (oval) orbit of planets some get close to each other or cross the path of another planet's orbit.
What planet do you go on first at poptropica?
It doesn't matter what order you go to the planets in, but you have to beat the enemy on each planet to get the knights to follow you.
What causes all of the planets to rotate around the sun in the same order?
Each planet has an orbit line that makes the planets stay in that spot, unless the orbit is changed
What planet has the most planets?
Planets don't have planets. The Sun has planets, and planets have moons.Dwarf planets might orbit around each other, but this answer uses the correct definition of the term planet, which does not include Pluto or Charon.
What is the distance from the planets?
the distance from the planets is 6.5 million miles between each planet.

Which direction is each planet?
All the planets are in motion about the sun. Each at different speeds and distances. The direction to each planet therefore changes over time.
Why does each planet have different facts?
planets have diffrent facts of other planets because of there size and distance from sun
How do we know how long it takes for each planet to orbit the sun?
We can observe the planets as they move through their orbits around the sun. We also know how to correct for the effect of the earth's own movement.
What holds all the planets in order?
A gravitational pull keep planets in order and they do not collid with each other
What is a double planet?
Two planets orbiting each other. The barycenter of the planets must not lie within either planet but must be in free space between them. (The planets orbit a central point as opposed to a planet-sattelite configuration where one body orbits another)
When does Pluto cross?
None of the eight planets has an orbit that crossesanother. Dwarf planets (which include Pluto) and Dwarf Planet candidates do cross orbits of planets and each
Do planets collide when the distance of the planets from the sun change?
The distance of the planets from the sun does not change because of the gravity surrounding each planet is pulling them into continuous orbit.
