How does gravity between the sun and planets control the path the planets make around the sun?

The sizes of the Sun and planets determine the strength of gravitational pull of the planets on each other and the Sun. The Sun's mass is so great that the planets can't escape from the Sun's pull and so as the planets are moving by the Sun pulls them back into orbit.


What cause planets to orbit the sun?

i know only one and it's a good one, the sun's gravity pulls the planets from flying some where else EDIT: Gravity pulls objects together and angular momentum makes sure planets orbit


What keeps all the planets in their place?

the gravity of the sun pulls them in a circular motion.


Why sun cannot revolve to planets?

The sun has the most gravity within the solar system, which pulls all the other planets towards itself. See, the gravity in outerspace is different; it pulls all the balls (planets) together because there is gravity on the sun (every part of the sun) and the spheres create a spinning motion. Since there is no planet exceeding the size and weight of the sun, the sun cannot revolve any planets.


Why do the planets all stay orbit around the sun and not drift on in an empty space?

Its because the gravitational field of the sun pulls the planets towards the sun and balances the intertia of the planets which make them want to move in a straight line.

Why does earth orbit around the sun in its path?

The Sun's gravity pulls on: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Gravity is a force that pulls the planets or a force to push. Gravity is on the Earth, gravity is floated in space. So the Sun's gravity keeps the planets to orbit the Sun.


Why planets hanging in space around sun?

because the stars gravity pulls them in and holds them in orbit


How do earth and other objects move in space?

The movement of the planets (inertia) moves them perpendicular to the sun at about the same rate that the gravity from the sun pulls the planets in. The gravity of the sun is a little stronger as the earth is slowly, but continuously getting closer to the sun.
