Inertia keeps the planets revolving around the sun instead of just running into the sun. Since gravity pulls masses together, without inertia, all the planets would be pulled into the sun.

If there were no inertia would cause the moon to travel in a straight line?

Inertia is a natural force that impacts the forces of the moon and its orbit through the solar system.


What do stars provide for your solar system?

It is believed that the death of a star in a supernova explosion, gave the inertia for our Solar System to begin to form.


What force is responsible for the orbit of the planet in the solar system?

That would be gravity and inertia.


How does inertia affect motion?

Inertia can be defined as the relunctance of a body to acceleration. Therefore, the greater the inertia of a body, the less it will accelerate under a given force. Inertia is directly related to mass. The greater the mass, the greater the inertia.


How do the solar winds affect the rest of the solar system?

it effects the solar system because it has a lot of gravity that pushes against it which is bad

Is the solar system held together by inertia?

No, the solar system is held together by the force of gravity. Gravity is what keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun and the moons in orbit around their host planets. Inertia is the tendency of an object to stay in motion or at rest unless acted upon by an external force.


What relationship does inertia have with heliocentricity?

A tenuous one because inertia is an undefined concept connected with dynamics, while heliocentricity is a property of the solar system. I guess you could say the connection is that the planets have inertia which, combined with gravity, causes the planets to orbit the Sun.
