A solar system forms out of a large cloud of dust; as the cloud starts to rotate as it collapses in on itself, it tends to spin into a disc shape. The center starts coalescing and getting dense enough to turn into a star, and clumps all along the disc coalesce into planets.
The reason why the cloud collapses in on itself, rotates, creates clumps that turn into the star and planets is all because of GRAVITY.
What else can I help you with?
When a planet is closer to the Sun is the orbit around the Sun shorter or longer?
When a planet is closer to the Sun, its orbit around the Sun is shorter because it has a smaller distance to travel in completing one orbit. The time it takes for a planet to go around the Sun is determined by its distance and speed.
What do you call the journey a planet makes around the sun?
The journey a planet makes around the sun is called its orbit.
What is the curved path of a planet around the sun?
The curved path of a planet around the sun is called an orbit. Orbits are elliptical in shape, with the sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse. The gravitational pull of the sun keeps the planet in its orbit as it travels around the sun.
What planet revolves around the sun in an orbit between that of Venus and Mars?
That would be the planet known as earth.it is our planet earth
It takes 29 earth years for this planet to travel around the sun once?
No, actually it takes 365.26 days to orbit around the sun. This is one year.
What is is called when you travel around the sun or planet?
When you travel around the Sun or a planet, due to gravitational attraction, it is called an "orbit". It is also a "revolution" around the Sun or planet.
What is earthes orbit?
An orbit is the path a planet takes around the sun. Earth's orbit is an ellipse. It takes the Earth one year to travel along the elliptical path around the sun.
When a planet is closer to the Sun is the orbit around the Sun shorter or longer?
When a planet is closer to the Sun, its orbit around the Sun is shorter because it has a smaller distance to travel in completing one orbit. The time it takes for a planet to go around the Sun is determined by its distance and speed.
Does the closest planet to the sun have the shortest orbit?
Yes. The closer an object is to the Sun, the shorter the distance it has to travel to get around it.
When will a planet travel fastest in its orbit?
The earth is moving fastest in its orbit at the moment of perihelion, when it is closest to the sun. the happens around January 3.
Which orbit is Uranus in?
Uranus is the seventh planet in our Solar System. It is in orbit around the Sun.
Does the sun travel around the sun or do planets travel around the sun?
The planets orbit (travel) around the Sun.
What do you call the journey a planet makes around the sun?
The journey a planet makes around the sun is called its orbit.
What forces act to hold a planet in orbit around the sun?
The gravitational force between the planet and the sun is what holds the planet in orbit around the sun. This force keeps the planet moving in a curved path around the sun, in balance with the planet's inertia.
What planet does the orbit go around?
none the orbit is around the sun
What does a planet orbit around?
the sun
The orbit of a planet around the sun is a ellipse straight line circle or parabola?
The orbit of a planet around the sun is called an ellipse.
