The sun's gravitational force pulls its satellites towards it, while each satellite has its own inertia going in a straight line perpendicular to the gravitational force. With both forces working together, the satellite goes in a diagonal direction that is always changing with the change of its direction of inertia, causing the revolution.
What else can I help you with?
What force causes planets to orbit the sun in your solar system?
Gravity is the force that connects the solar system to the sun.
What causes planets to orbit?
Planets are kept in their orbit by the suns gravity, yet their momentum keeps them from falling into the sun. (Thank goodness!) Planets orbit in the direction their star rotates, so in our solar system, all planets orbit in the direction of the star.
What is the main force that keeps planets in orbit around the Sun?
The main force that keeps planets in orbit around the Sun is gravity. The gravitational pull from the Sun keeps the planets moving in their elliptical paths. This force of gravity is what maintains the balance needed for a planet to stay in orbit.
What planet do all the planets evolve around?
I am not familiar with planets evolving around any singular planet. If you are referring to orbit, the planets orbit the sun, a star, not a planet, in our solar system. Some planets have moons in their orbit.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
What force causes planets to orbit the sun in your solar system?
Gravity is the force that connects the solar system to the sun.
Why do all the planets orbit?
Planets orbit around the Sun because of the Sun's gravitational force, it makes the planets move by its gravitational force.
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.
A force that keeps planets in orbit?
The force that keeps planets in orbit is gravity. Gravity is the attractive force that exists between two masses, such as a planet and a star, that causes them to be drawn towards each other. In the case of planets orbiting a star, gravity keeps the planets in their elliptical paths around the star.
Who determined the force that kept planets in orbit?
It was Isaac Newton who figured out that the force of gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun.
What causes planets to orbit?
Planets are kept in their orbit by the suns gravity, yet their momentum keeps them from falling into the sun. (Thank goodness!) Planets orbit in the direction their star rotates, so in our solar system, all planets orbit in the direction of the star.
What keeps planets in elliptical orbits?
Planets are kept in elliptical orbits due to the gravitational force acting between the planet and the sun. This force causes the planet to move in a curved path, resulting in an elliptical orbit. The balance between the planet's inertia and the gravitational force determines the shape of the orbit.
What is the main force that keeps planets in orbit around the Sun?
The main force that keeps planets in orbit around the Sun is gravity. The gravitational pull from the Sun keeps the planets moving in their elliptical paths. This force of gravity is what maintains the balance needed for a planet to stay in orbit.

What causes an orbit around the sun?

What attractive force keeps planets in orbit around stars?
Gravity.
What force keeps planets and moons going in orbits?
Gravity is the force that keeps planets and moons in orbit. The gravitational pull between the planet or moon and the object they are orbiting around, typically a star like the sun, is what keeps them moving in a stable path. This balance between the gravitational force and the object's inertia causes them to continuously orbit in a closed path.
