What 2 forces combine to keep a planet in orbit?
There are two factors; the tangential velocity, and the gravitational force. The planets have a tangential velocity, they are speeding along sideways relative to the sun. If there was no gravity, this velocity would take the planets away from the sun, but the sun has a huge gravitational force which counteracts this effect. The suns gravitational force is constantly attracting the planets in, against this tangential velocity. If the planets were to slow down, then they would eventually spiral into the sun, but in space there is no drag, so the planets maintain their speed and their orbits.
Which 2 planets do not have a circular orbit?
No planet's orbit is perfectly circular. They are all elipses.
What are the strange things about the orbit of Pluto?
Pluto has an eccentric and inclined orbit compared to the planets in our solar system. It is also known to cross Neptune's orbit at times, making it a "dwarf planet" rather than a full-fledged planet. Additionally, Pluto's orbit is not perfectly circular like most planets, leading to variations in its distance from the Sun over time.
What are three rules for consideration for planets?
Three rules for consideration for planets are: 1) The planet must orbit a star. 2) The planet must have enough mass to have a nearly round shape. 3) The planet must have cleared its orbit of other debris.
How many dwaft planets are in your solarsystem?
There are currently five identified dwarf planets in our solar system: Pluto, Eris, Haumea, Makemake, and Ceres. These objects are smaller than the eight recognized planets and typically exist beyond the orbit of Neptune in the Kuiper Belt or the scattered disc.
What two factors act together to keep the planets in orbit around the sun?
definetly Gravity and Inertia
What were the two factors Isaac Newton concluded that combined to keep the planets in orbit?
Isaac Newton concluded that the force of gravity and the forward motion of the planets combined to keep them in orbit around the Sun. The force of gravity pulls the planets towards the Sun, while the forward motion of the planets creates the centrifugal force that counteracts gravity, leading to stable orbits.
What are the release dates for The Daily Orbit - 2012 Superhabitable Planets 2-96?
The Daily Orbit - 2012 Superhabitable Planets 2-96 was released on: USA: 27 January 2013
What 2 things keep your planets in an elliptical orbit?
Gravity and velocity (or inertia), and they aren't things. They're forces.
The 2 planets between the belt of asteroids orbit?
Mars and Jupiter.
What are the 2 motion that all planets go through?
They orbit and they rotate

What three factors determine planets in the solar system?
1) An object orbiting the Sun 2) Having a Radius of over 2000 kilometers 3) Has cleared it's orbit environment from other objects.
What 2 factors keep artificial satellites such as the Hubble space Telescope in orbit around the earth?
It only takes one, which is fortunate because there only IS one.It's gravity.
How long does it take the first 5 planets to orbit the sun?
This is how long it takes the first 5 planets to orbit the Sun. Mercury: 0.2 years Venus:0.6 years Earth: 1 year Mars: 2 years
What are 3 distinctive characteristics of orbit of planet and moon in the solar system?
1). They orbit in the same around the sun, and as the sun. 2). Orbits of planets and their larger moons are in just about the same plane. 3). Almost all planets and moons rotate on their axes in the same direction as the planets orbit the sun.
