Planets move around the sun in orbits?
elliptical
In what type of orbits do planets move around the sun?
elliptical
Why are the inner planets composed of heavy elements and outer planets composed of gas?
During the creation of the planets, gravitational forces pulled the heavier planets towards the center. The lighter gas filled planets by default established further orbits. It is thought that heat caused the inner planets to lose their gas composition.
Which planet moves the most slowly in its orbit?
Of the major planets, Neptune. The speed of planets in their orbits is directly related to their distance from the sun. The farther a planet is from the Sun, the slower its orbital speed.
How is Earth's orbit around the sun similar to the orbits of other planets around the sun?
all orbit according to the sun's gravity- if there was none they would all move in a pretty straight line instead of an orbit Answer: All planets follow eliptical orbits around the sun, and all move in the same direction around the sun.
Which scientists determined the nature of the forces that kept the planets in their orbits?
newton
Which astronomer discovered why planets stay in their orbits?
Isaac Newton
What early astronomer discovered why planets stay in their orbits?
Newton
Why planets and moons of planets stay in their orbits?
The forces of gravity between two masses are the cause of all orbits.
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.
What tool did Sir Issac Newton use to the map the orbits of planets and satellites?
Isaac Newton used a refracting telescope and calculus, which he invented to map the orbits.
Newton was the first to understand that gravitation caused planets to follow irregular orbits?
true
Who was the scientist that worked out the general rules for the orbits of the planets?
I think it was gallilao or Issac newton
WHO first understood the relationship between forces and orbits?
sir Issac newton
What early astronomer discovered why planets stay in their orbits A. Newton B. Galilei C. Copernicus D. Kepler?
A: Issac Newton
What early astronomer discovered why planets stay you their orbits?
Newton discovered this with his Universal Theory of Gravity.
What forces cause the planets to go around the sun and stay in their orbits?
gravity
