The centripetal force and the centrifugal force in balance. Both these forces are related to Gravitational Energy E=- GmM/r + mcV =-mu/r + mcV. The centripetal forces is mv^2/r and the centrifugal force is Del .mcV = -mcv/r cos(x). The orbit forces are 0= dmcV/dr + DelxmcV - Del mu/r.

What two forces work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun?

The two forces that work together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun are gravity and inertia.


How do planets in the solar system keep moving?

An object has a general tendency to keep moving - that's how our Universe works. No force is required to keep an object moving - unless there is another force that slows it down. Here on Earth, there are usually frictional forces that slow objects down, and therefore a force is required to counteract the frictional forces.

What 2 things keep your planets in an elliptical orbit?

Gravity and velocity (or inertia), and they aren't things. They're forces.


What does the suns gravity attract?

There is a pair of mutual gravitational forces between the sun and everything else in the universe. One result of these forces is to keep the planets in orbit around the sun.

When forces are not balanced an object may keep object moving forever true or false?

That's true. Plus ... even if the forces on an object are BALANCED, it can keep moving forever.


What keeps the planets from being pulled to the sun's surface by gravity?

The planets are in stable orbits around the sun due to the balance between their forward motion, which wants to keep them moving in a straight line, and the sun's gravitational pull, which attracts them towards its center. This balance of forces results in the planets continuously falling towards the sun but also moving sideways fast enough to remain in a stable orbit.


What forces keep the comet in orbit around the sun?

The comet is kept in orbit around the sun by the gravitational pull between the comet and the sun. This gravitational force acts as a centripetal force, keeping the comet moving in its elliptical orbit.


How can the planets orbit the sun?

It is the natural tendency for an object in motion to keep moving at the same speed in a straight line. Meanwhile gravity is trying to pull each planet toward the sun. The two forces combine to keep the planets in their elliptical orbits. They have enough forward momentum to keep them from falling into the sun, and they have enough pull from the sun to keep them from following a straight path out of the solar system.
