They stay there because there is nothing to disturb them. They go round and round, with the gravitational force from the sun exactly balanced by an acceleration directed towards the Sun, but their forward velocities stop them falling into the sun, they only curve a little towards it all the time. After a few billion years everything has settled down into a steady routine.

What causes the plants to stay in orbit around the sun?

Plants remain in orbit around the sun, like all other objects in the solar system, due to the gravitational force exerted by the sun. This force keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path around the sun. The balance between the gravitational force of the sun and the plants' inertia keeps them in orbit.


What makes the plants orbit?

A planet's inertia and its interaction with the Sun's gravity make it orbit around the Sun.

Can the sun oribit around different plants?

No. We orbit the sun, along with the other planets. The Sun is stationary


What kind of obit do the plants go in?

What keep planets stay in orbit around the sun?

Planets stay in orbit around the sun due to a balance between the gravitational force pulling them towards the sun and their own momentum carrying them forward. This balance allows planets to maintain a stable orbit without being pulled into the sun or flung out into space.


What plant takes the longest time to orbit the sun?

The plant that takes the longest time to orbit the sun is the planet Venus, which, while not a plant, is often referred to in discussions about the solar system. Venus takes about 225 Earth days to complete one orbit around the sun. However, if considering plants specifically, there are no known plants that orbit the sun independently; they are all rooted to Earth and rely on its orbit around the sun for their growth and photosynthesis.


Why planets stay in orbit as they revolve around the sun?

The planets stay in orbit because of the gravitational attraction between the individual planets and the sun. Their rotational velocity makes them stay in a stable orbit instead of spiraling into it.


Why does the sun not have a orbit?

Because it does not have too god made it that it would stay still so the planets good orbit around it


Who explained why the planets stay in orbit around the sun?
