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.


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.


What keeps the planets in orbit around the sun?

Gravity, combined with the velocities of the planets, keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun.Gravity between any body, such as a planet, and the Sun is one factor. Also the planet has a velocity. These two things combine to keep the planet in orbit around the Sun.Gravitation. The suns gravitational pull. The huge mass of the sun means it has a huge gravitational pull, keeping all of the planets in place. There is also the planets velocity that would take the planet away from the sun if there was no gravity, so these two forces act against each other.


What two factors act together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun?

definetly Gravity and Inertia


What shape do planets trace as they orbit around the sun?

Planets orbit the sun in the shape of an ellipse, which is an elongated circle similar to an oval. When it was first discovered that the Sun is the center of the solar system, it was thought that all the planets had a circular orbit, but the calculations didn't fit.

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.
