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.


List of planets in order that orbit the moon?

No planets are in orbit around the moon


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 is the orbit of the sun due to gravity?

The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).The planets' gravity on the Sun is insignificant, compared to the Sun's mass; so, within the Solar System, it is (basically) the planets that orbit around the Sun.On the other hand, the Sun - together with all the planets - orbits around the center of the Milky Way (our galaxy).


What are two things that work together keeping planets in their orbits around the sun?

Gravity and the laws of motion, specifically Newton's laws of motion, work together to keep planets in their orbits around the sun. Gravity from the sun pulls the planets towards it, while the inertia of the planets moving in a straight line causes them to travel in an elliptical orbit around the sun.
