What determines a plants orbit?

A plant's orbit is determined by the gravitational pull of the star or body it is orbiting, as well as its own velocity. The balance between the pull of gravity and the speed of the plant determines its orbital path.


The weight that registers when you step on a scale is the response of your body mass to the pull of what?

The weight registered on a scale is the response of your body mass to the pull of gravity. Gravity exerts a force on your body mass, causing it to be pulled downwards. This force is measured as weight when you step on a scale.

Is weight constant every place in the universe ture or false?

False. Weight is not constant everywhere in the universe because it depends on the gravitational force acting on an object. Weight can vary depending on the gravitational pull of a celestial body.
