What two factors act together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun?
definetly Gravity and Inertia
Can the mass of a planet affect how many moons a planet has?
Yes, it can. The higher the planet's mass, the more satellites it can attract at greater distances, and the more it can keep in orbit around it.
What 2 things keep something in orbit around the earth?
The two things that keep something in orbit around Earth are the object's velocity, which must be high enough to counteract gravity and maintain a stable path, and the gravitational pull of Earth, which pulls the object towards the planet's center. Both factors work together to keep the object moving in a circular or elliptical path around Earth.
What two factors combine to keep the planets in their orbits?
None do. If the forces on a planet were balanced, then it would take off in a straight line at constant speed, not remain in orbit. The only force acting on a planet is the gravitational one, that attracts the planet toward the sun. Fortunately, that's the only force required to keep the planet in orbit.
What force keeps the moons of Jupiter in orbit around the planet?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter by the force of gravity.
What are the 2 factors that keep the planets in orbit?
The two factors that keep planets in orbit are gravity and the forward motion they gained during their formation. Gravity pulls the planet towards the sun, but the forward motion prevents the planet from falling into the sun, leading to a stable orbit.
Does gravity keep a planet moving in an orbit around the sun?
because its on its axis

How do gravity and inertia determine the orbit of a planet?
the sun's gravity pulls the planets towards it but the other planet's gravity helps keep the planet not get sucked towards the sun. With gravity working this creates the planet to orbit the sun

What two types of motions keep a satallite in orbit around earth?
A tangential velocity vector relative to the orbit itself, and acceleration towards the center of the planet due to gravity.
What keeps a satellite in orbit around a planet?
It is not gravity because there is no gravity in space, only some on certain planets, deffiantly on earth. It is done by the strength from other planets the sun for instance. Heat waves. Some of the gravity in space does help keep the planets and satellites in orbit.
How do Saturn's rings stay in orbit?
The gravitational pull of the planet Saturn keep it's rings in orbit.
