There is a mechanical force of attraction between all the planets and the Sun, but because the Sun is so much bigger than every other object in the Solar System the attraction between the Sun and each planet is the most significant force.
Any two objects attract each other with a gravitational force given by:
F = G M1 M2 / R-squared
The two objects have mass of M1 and M2 and the distance between them is R.
If the gravitational constant G is taken as 6.670 times ten to the power minus eleven, and the masses are in kilograms, and the distance is in metres, then the force comes out in Newtons.
What else can I help you with?
Are the sun and the planets attracted to each other?
Yes, the sun and planets are attracted to each other through the force of gravity. The sun's massive gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it, while the planets also have gravitational effects on each other.
Why do the earth moon and all the other planets revolve around the sun?
The planets revolve around the sun due to the force of gravity. Gravity causes objects with mass to be attracted to each other. The sun's massive gravitational pull keeps the planets in orbit around it.
Is it true that- gravity holds planets in orbit because planets are attracted to each other's gravitational force?
No, gravity holds planets in orbit around the sun because the sun's gravity pulls on them. This gravitational force between the sun and planets keeps them in their respective orbits. The force between planets themselves is much smaller and mainly affects their interactions with each other rather than their orbits around the sun.
Why do planets revolve around d sun in a particular orbit?
The planets revolve attracted by the gravitational force of primarily the sun and to a lesser degree the gravitational attraction of other planets. The reason for the orbit is thought to relate to the rotation of the primeval gas could which gave berth to the sun and the planets.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
What keeps the planets from being attracted toward the Sun?
i Don't kno w it also? They are attracted to the sun. It is called gravity
Why does the universe goes around?
As all the planets rotate around the sun at different speads, they are attracted when orbiting the sun.
Are the sun and the planets attracted to each other?
Yes, the sun and planets are attracted to each other through the force of gravity. The sun's massive gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it, while the planets also have gravitational effects on each other.
What are is the Sun and the planets attracted to each other by?
Gravity and inertia. The Sun's gravity holds all the planets in orbit with its immense gravity, and the planets have no tendency to change their orbits due to the law of inertia which implies that the planets will stay in their elliptical patterns until a force acts on them to change that status.
Why do the earth moon and all the other planets revolve around the sun?
The planets revolve around the sun due to the force of gravity. Gravity causes objects with mass to be attracted to each other. The sun's massive gravitational pull keeps the planets in orbit around it.
Is it true that- gravity holds planets in orbit because planets are attracted to each other's gravitational force?
No, gravity holds planets in orbit around the sun because the sun's gravity pulls on them. This gravitational force between the sun and planets keeps them in their respective orbits. The force between planets themselves is much smaller and mainly affects their interactions with each other rather than their orbits around the sun.
How does the sun's gravity affect the planets?
Yes. The sun is attracted by the gravity of the planets just as the planets are attracted by the sun. Since the sun is more massive it does not move as much, bu the gravity of the orbiting planets does cause it to "wobble."
Why do planets revolve around d sun in a particular orbit?
The planets revolve attracted by the gravitational force of primarily the sun and to a lesser degree the gravitational attraction of other planets. The reason for the orbit is thought to relate to the rotation of the primeval gas could which gave berth to the sun and the planets.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Why planets do not move away through their orbit?
GRAVITY... gravity means that objects are "attracted" to other objects, and the larger the object, the more GRAVITY will "attract" the object. The sun's gravity is too large for the planets to overcome.
