To determine the gravitational force between the moon and the planet, we can use Newton's law of universal gravitation: ( F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} ), where ( G ) is the gravitational constant (( 6.674 \times 10^{-11} , \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2 )), ( m_1 ) and ( m_2 ) are the masses of the two bodies, and ( r ) is the distance between their centers. Plugging in the values: ( F = (6.674 \times 10^{-11}) \frac{(6.0 \times 10^{22})(5.0 \times 10^{24})}{(4.0 \times 10^{8})^2} ), we can calculate the gravitational force. This results in a force of approximately ( 5.0 \times 10^{14} , \text{N} ).

Why do planet do not collide as they travel around the sun?

Its a fairly good question. They wont collide as they are in separate orbits, which are many millions of km apart - orbits within orbits. The planets when drawn to scale are also tiny when compared with these orbits and distances. Having said that, their gravitational fields do indeed effect each other, distorting each others orbits.


Is the shape of the orbit of each planet is a circle true?

No, all the planets have orbits that are technically ellipses with low eccentricity. Apart from Mercury all the other seven planets have orbits that are very nearly circular, but the Sun is offfset from the centre of the circle by a different amount for each planet depending on the eccentricity of the orbit.

Is a asteroid apart of the solar system?

Yes. The asteroid belt - is a region of space that lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It's believed the region used to be an early planet - which was struck by something large enough to fragment the planet into billions of pieces - ranging in size from a grain of sand - to a small island.
