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 were the two factors Isaac Newton concluded that combined to keep the planets in orbit?
Isaac Newton concluded that the force of gravity and the forward motion of the planets combined to keep them in orbit around the Sun. The force of gravity pulls the planets towards the Sun, while the forward motion of the planets creates the centrifugal force that counteracts gravity, leading to stable orbits.
What 2 things keep your planets in an elliptical orbit?
Gravity and velocity (or inertia), and they aren't things. They're forces.
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.
Is the solar system held together by inertia?
No, the solar system is held together by the force of gravity. Gravity is what keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun and the moons in orbit around their host planets. Inertia is the tendency of an object to stay in motion or at rest unless acted upon by an external force.
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 would happen to an object in orbit around planets if the planets force of gravity were stronger than the objects inertia?
The object would crash into the planet.
What factors keep the planets in orbit?
Gravity and inertia
How do moons orbit the planets?
the planets do not orbit the moon but the moon orbits the planets because of gravity and inertia
How does inertia and gravity combine to make the planets orbit the sun?
The sun's gravity is pulling the planets toward it and the planets inertia keeps them moving forward
What two things keep the planets in their orbit?
gravity&inertia
Why do all the planets orbit around the sun?
Gravity and inertia
What would happen to an object in orbit around a planet if the planets force of gravity were stronger than the objects inertia?
The object would crash into the planet.
Who hypothesized that planets orbit the sun due to the forces of gravity and inertia?
Isaac Newton.
What two factors act to keep the planets in orbit around the sun?
definetly Gravity and Inertia
How does inertia affect your solar system?
Inertia causes celestial bodies in the solar system to continue moving along their current paths unless acted upon by an external force. This is why planets orbit the Sun and moons orbit planets in a stable manner, as their inertia keeps them in motion. Changes in their orbits or paths would require a significant force to overcome their inertia.
What keeps planets in elliptical orbits?
Planets are kept in elliptical orbits due to the gravitational force acting between the planet and the sun. This force causes the planet to move in a curved path, resulting in an elliptical orbit. The balance between the planet's inertia and the gravitational force determines the shape of the orbit.
