Why does the moon not come crashing into the earth?
Due to the power attraction of the sun which keeps all planets and their satellites at a proper distance according to their masses.
The earths gravity keeps the planets circling the sun?
The Sun's gravity keeps the planets orbiting the Sun.
What keeps the planets from being pulled into the sun?
Gravitation keeps the planets from being pulled into the Sun.
What keeps the planets in our solar system in orbit around the Sun?
The Sun's strong gravity keeps all the planets in orbit around it.
Why do the planets orbit the sun What is the shape of those orbits?
Planets orbit the sun because gravity keeps them from escaping, and momentum keeps them moving forward. The orbits are elliptical, which is like an oval.

What keeps the planets from being pulled into the sun?
Gravitation keeps the planets from being pulled into the Sun.
What keeps the planets in orbit about the sun?
The Sun has a powerful gravitational pull. This, combined with the velocities of the planets, keeps the planets in orbit.
What keeps the sun and the planets in the place?
Gravity keeps the planets together
The pull of the sun that keeps the planets in their places?
The Sun's Gravitational pull keeps the planets orbiting it, not flying into deep space.
What keeps the planets in the solar system in orbit around the sun?
The Sun's strong gravity keeps all the planets in orbit around it.
What keeps the planets on their path?
The gravity of there star keeps them on path and a planets moon is sun around by its planets gravitational force
What from the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits?
Gravity
Why do you think the planets do not collid?
As the planets orbit the sun, its gravity keeps them from colliding
Why do you think planets do not collide?
As the planets orbit the sun, its gravity keeps them from colliding
What force keeps the sun and planets in their places?
nothing
