Aristarchus, copernicus, Kepplar all advanced the theory starting in 400BC and finally proven by Gallileo after he invented the telescope. The church threatened to have Gallileo before the inquisition if he didn't recant his findings, so originally he did but later the church accepted his findings. Newton wasn't involved in that particular discovery.

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.


Who concluded that all planets must orbit around the sun because evidence suggested that Venus orbited the sun?

Galileo Galilei concluded that all planets must orbit around the sun after observing that Venus exhibited phases similar to the moon, which could only be explained if Venus orbited the sun.


How Do Planets Travel Around The Sun?

Planets travel around the Sun in elliptical orbits due to the gravitational pull of the Sun. This gravitational force keeps the planets in their respective paths, causing them to move in a continuous loop around the Sun. The speed at which a planet travels around the Sun depends on its distance from the Sun and the mass of the Sun.


Does the sun rotate around all planets?

No, the sun does not rotate around all planets. In our solar system, planets orbit around the sun due to its gravitational pull. The sun itself rotates on its axis, influencing the rotation of the planets but not physically orbiting them.


Does the sun travel around the planets or do the planets travel around the sun?

The planets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits due to the sun's gravitational pull. This movement is known as the heliocentric model, with the sun at the center of the solar system, contrary to the geocentric model where the Earth was believed to be at the center.

Who determined the force that kept planets in orbit?

It was Isaac Newton who figured out that the force of gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun.


Whose laws of gravity explained how planets move around the sun?

Isaac newton :)


What evidence do you have that the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun and not in circular orbits?

Elliptical orbits of the planets around the sun actually match what we observe. Newton's Theory of Universal Gravitation states that planets will move around the sun in elliptical orbits.


Planets revolve around the sun?

according to newton's law of gravitation every object in the nature attract other due to its gravitational pull so planets revolve around sun.


Who realized that the planets moves around the sun?

Issac Newton shortly after discovering the gravity theory


Who used math to show that gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun?

Isaac Newton.


How could newton's first law of motion explain that a force is acting between the sun and its planets?

If no force, the planets would move in a straight line, not in a orbit around the sun.


What force did Sir Isaac Newton say helped keep the planets moving around the sun?

orbit

Does the sun travel around the sun or do planets travel around the sun?

The planets orbit (travel) around the Sun.


According to Newton what force held the planets in orbit?

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force that held planets in orbit around the sun is the gravitational force. This force is proportional to the mass of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.


What is the importance of Newton's law of universal gravitation?

It explains why the planets remain in in orbit around the sun. Also, why moons orbit their planets. It also explains why humans remain on earth.
