The escape velocity from the Sun at the Earth's distance is about 42.1 km/s. This means that for an object to escape the Sun's gravity at this distance, it would need to travel at that speed. The Earth's orbital speed around the Sun is about 30 km/s, so it is not moving fast enough to escape the Sun's gravity.

Would Earth's gravity ever affect Pluto?

No, Earth's gravity would not affect Pluto. However, the suns gravity does.


What is the Suns gravity in relation to Earths gravity?

The Sun's gravity, at its surface, is about 28 times Earth's surface gravity.


How does the effect of the suns gravity on Pluto compare to the effect of the suns gravity on earth?

well pluto is so far away that the sun rays can't reach out that far for it to be warmer and for earth,the earth is much closer and could get most of the suns hot rays


Is the force of the suns gravity on the moon the same as the suns gravity on earth?

Not particularly. The Earth's rotation around the Solar System is controlled by the Sun but the Moon is mostly controlled by the Earth, so the Sun really has more of an influence on the Earth than the Moon.


Why does the earth move around?

the earth moves around because of the suns gravity. Its not rocket science.


How inertia and gravity combine to keep earth in orbit?

gravity and inertia combine to keep earth in orbit because the suns gravity keeps the earth in orbit and the inertia keeps the earth from going in a straight line.

What is the force witch causes the earth to orbit the sun?

The force that causes the Earth to orbit the Sun is gravity. Gravity is the attraction between two objects with mass, and in the case of the Earth and the Sun, this gravitational force keeps the Earth in its elliptical orbit around the Sun.


Why is the suns gravity so large?

The Sun's gravity is large because the Sun has a lot of mass (about 333,000 times the mass of Earth). Masses cause gravity.


Why does earth spin around the sun?

Because of the suns mass or weight. The more weight something has the more gravity it has. We rotate around the sun because the suns gravity pulls us towards it. No, we won't ever crash into the sun.


What type of force keeps the sun and planets in there places?
