the planets are situated at the orbit shell of the sun, ie they are continuously in a falling motion....however, due to the spherical shape of the sun...their falling motion never results in a collision....if the gravity of the sun was even fractionally lesser....the planets closest to the sun would change from an elliptical path to following a spiral one until they ultimately collapse in the sun....hope i helped

Why doesn't mercury get sucked in the suns gravity?
That is impossible because the perimeter of the sun is where the gravity is. And the atmosphere is not where the gravity is.
Would there be a sky without gravity?
No, as there would be no coalescence of matter to form suns and planets without gravity.
Where is the gravity in space?
The sun controls gravity in our solar system keeping the planets in orbit just as the earth keeps the moon in orbit. Depending on how close you are to a planet will determine whether the suns or that planets gravity will act upon you. Gravity is everywhere in space.
How did gravity relate the shape and size of the universe?
because the suns gravitational pull is so large that the planets stay close to together
How does the solar system operate?
by the intence push and pull of the suns gravity
Why doesn't mercury get sucked in the suns gravity?
That is impossible because the perimeter of the sun is where the gravity is. And the atmosphere is not where the gravity is.
Does the suns gravity keep the planets in orbit around it?
Yeah
What is the force that keeps planet in orbit?
the suns gravity keeps the planets in orbit
What are the 2 forces that keep planets orbiting suns?
gravity and inertia
What keeps planets in elliptical orbits?
Gravity and velocity (inertia) keeps planets in orbit around suns.
Would there be a sky without gravity?
No, as there would be no coalescence of matter to form suns and planets without gravity.
What keeps the solar system in balance?
Gravity and motion. Gravity pulls the planets in and keeps them from flying away, while the velocity of the planets keeps them from being sucked in completely.
The plants are kept in orbit by the sun's blank?
The planets are kept in orbit by the Suns gravity.
What type of force provided by the suns gravity keeps the planets in orbit?
the gravititonal pull does; it is what keeps all the planet in the suns orbit xx
How does the suns gravity influences planets?
however in the hell that it does itIt keeps us in orbit of the sun.
What creates earths motion?
the suns gravity pull creates the earths movement as well as the other planets
Where is the gravity in space?
The sun controls gravity in our solar system keeping the planets in orbit just as the earth keeps the moon in orbit. Depending on how close you are to a planet will determine whether the suns or that planets gravity will act upon you. Gravity is everywhere in space.
