'Gravoty' is an attraction between any two or more objects, be those objects atoms, protons or planets. stars andything in between.

The planets have gravity , the Sun has gravity. They are attracted to each other. So why do they not 'crash' into each other? Because, the planets are moving with an acceleration. This acceleration together with the planets mass creates are force (F = ma). This force is balanced by the Sun's force of gravity. So the forces are in balance, so the planets orbit the Sun and not fall into the Sun.

The oceans on Earth, being liquid, will be attracted to the Moon by Lunar gravity. So which side of the Earth the Moon is on , will be the 'High Tide'. This is balabnced 'Like a wheel balance', by a counter High Tide on the opposite side of the Earth, from the Moon.

Does gravity affect your weight on different planets?

Yes, gravity affects your weight on different planets. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, so on planets with stronger gravity, you would weigh more, and on planets with weaker gravity, you would weigh less compared to your weight on Earth.


How does gravity affect the other planets in the solar system?

"Gravity" is responsible for the existence of planetary orbits, and for their shapes and periods. It's also the reason for the spherical shapes of the planets, and for the existence of atmospheres, in the case of those planets that have any.


How does gravity affect the stars moon an planets?

Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the stars and the stars in orbit around the center of the galaxy. Gravity also holds the stars together against their own internal pressure.


How does gravity affect the motion of the planets in our solar system?

Gravity is the fundamental force that governs the motion of planets in our solar system. It is the gravitational pull from the Sun that keeps the planets in their elliptical orbits, preventing them from drifting away into space. Additionally, the gravitational interactions between planets can influence their orbits and lead to phenomena such as orbital resonance. Overall, gravity ensures the stability and structure of the solar system.


How does gravity help to form planets?

the planets were formed by gravity because starts had gravity around them witch caused them to become bigger and be planets i think.. idk

How are tides planets and black holes related?

There is a force that unites the tides, planets and black holes. Tides are generally thought of as the rise and fall of the level of the oceans due to the gravitational effects of the moon and the sun. Planets have gravity proportional to their masses, and black holes are points of massive gravity. Gravity or its effects unite the three things listed.

Do planets and the sun interact?

Yes, planets and the sun interact through gravitational forces. The sun's gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it, while the planets' gravity tugs on the sun, causing it to wobble slightly. Additionally, the sun's energy and solar wind affect the planets' atmospheres and magnetic fields.
