What is a result of gravitational forces in the Solar System?

One result of gravitational forces in the Solar System is the motion of planets in their orbits around the Sun. These forces also contribute to the stability of the Solar System by holding celestial bodies in place and preventing them from drifting off into space.

No planets are in orbit around the moon


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).


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 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.

Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?

Moons orbit around planets. They are natural satellites that are held in orbit by the planet's gravitational pull.

Forces is responsible for keeping the planets in orbit around the Sun?

The solar system's planets, planetesimals, asteroids, and comets are held in orbit by the force of gravity, the mutual attraction between these objects and the Sun.

What do all the planets orbit around?

All the planets in OUR solar system orbit around the sun(which is a star). Planets in other solar systems orbit around other stars.


Are there forces in space?

Yes, there are various forces at play in space such as gravity, electromagnetic forces, and nuclear forces. Gravity, for example, is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around stars and for holding galaxies together. Electromagnetic forces are involved in interactions between charged particles, while nuclear forces operate within atomic nuclei.


Why does planets stay in its orbit?

For a planet to stay in it's orbit the forces must be in balance.


Can planets and stars orbit around the sun?

Planets orbit the sun. Stars do not.
