What three things keep the planets in their orbit?
A planet is kept in its orbit because the Sun's gravitational attraction on it produces acceleration towards the Sun, which exactly balances the force, by Newton's laws of motion. An object that is travelling along in a curved path is accelerating to the side, according to Newton's theory, and in a stable orbit this can go on for ever without the energy ever diminishing.
Do all the planets orbit around the earth or sun?
All planets orbit around the sun in our solar system. The sun is at the center of our solar system, and its gravitational pull keeps all the planets in orbit around it. The idea of all planets orbiting around the Earth was a historic belief known as the geocentric model, which has been proven incorrect by modern astronomy.
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.
Who was responsible for three laws that explained the orbit s of planets?
Johannes Kepler was responsible for the three laws of planetary motion, known as Kepler's Laws. These laws describe the motion and orbits of planets around the Sun.
What are three types of bodies in the solar system besides dwarf planets asteroids and planets?
Three types of bodies in the solar system besides dwarf planets, asteroids, and planets are comets, moons, and meteoroids. Comets are icy bodies that release gas and dust as they orbit the Sun, moons are natural satellites that orbit planets or asteroids, and meteoroids are small rocky or metallic bodies that travel through space.

Three dwarf planets?
The solar system has three classified dwarf planets. They are Pluto, Ceres, and Eris. A dwarf planet has sufficient mass, has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit, and is in orbit around a star.
What are three ways that the outer and inner planets are alike?
Shape, rotation-direction, and orbit-direction.
What are three major things that set earth apart from other planets?
The three major things that set earth apart from other planets is atmosphere, climate, and weather.
In what 2 ways does the moon move?
I can think of at least three ways the moon moves. It's primary movement is the orbit around planet earth, then it is also in orbit of the sun along with earth, and on top of that it is circling the black hole at the center of our milky way galaxy along with the solar system and many, many other planets and stars.
What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?
In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.
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.
What is the orbit of planets?
The orbit of each planet it the path it takes as it rotates round the Sun under the influence of the force of gravity. Every planet has a separate orbit and the orbits all follow Kepler's three laws of planetary motion.
