What do you think might happen if the suns gravitational pull on the planets lessens?
The Sun's pull could only lessen if its mass reduced significantly, which is unlikely, but if that happened suddenly each planet would move into an orbit which is larger and more elliptical. Its present position would be one point in the new orbit but the major axis would be larger. With a drastic reduction in mass the orbit could become hyperbolic and in that case the planet would escape from the Sun.
But if the Sun's mass altered there would be other factors that would have larger consequences caused by the exact way in which the mass was changed.
What else can I help you with?
Does belguese have any moons?
A star can have planets, those planets can have moons: that's the heirarchy. Actually Betelgeuse is a red giant, which means that any planets it might have had are likely to have been swallowed up as the star expanded, which is what will happen to the Earth when the Sun swells up. But it won't happen for the next few billion years.
What would happen to the orbits of the planets if the amount of gravity produced by the sun reduced to almost 0?
The orbits of the planets would all be much larger if the sun had less gravity. They might even just fly off free.
Do planets have Ozone?
Earth has an ozone layer in atmosphere. It is present in the stratospheric region. Other planets which have oxygen in their environment might have ozone.Some planets like earth do. Others might have.
When planets travel in a circular path what is that called?
When planets travel in a circular path, it is called orbiting around a central star, such as the Sun in our solar system. This circular motion is governed by the gravitational pull between the planet and the central star, keeping the planet in a stable and predictable path.
What force keeps the planets in their orbet?
Orbital momentum (or inertia) keeps the planets moving per Newton's First Law; gravitational pull from the Sun causes the orbit to assume an elliptically-shaped path. If effect, they constantly fall (accelerate) towards the Sun but constantly miss it. An explanation appealing to general relativity might assert that gravitation in an effect in which mass curves spacetime, and that planets only travel in straight lines (geodesics) through curved space.
What would happen if the sun was the size of a city?
Our solar system might have been totally different to the the one we have. The sun has gravitational forces that pull the planets while they revolve around it. If the sun was smaller, then the planets would have much smaller too. The temperatures generated by the sun on the planets might not have been sufficient to sustain life either.
What might happen if the sun loses it gravitational pull?
Then we all will die
Would you weigh the same on all of the planets?
No, because each plant has it's own gravitational pull. U might weigh more on 1 plant then u do on an other.

Will the gravitational poles switch?
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that the gravitational poles will switch. The Earth's magnetic poles can undergo a reversal, but this does not affect the gravitational poles. The gravitational pull on Earth is primarily due to the mass of Earth itself, not the orientation of its magnetic field.
What if a black hole of 5 M passed by Earth at the distance of Neptune from the sun?
In that case, the black hole's gravitational pull on Earth will be less than the Sun's gravitational pull - you can do the calculations. However, such a black hole might very well disrupt the orbit of some of the planets.
What might happen after the planets align?
Some theories state that weather could change and others say that it could be the end of the world. No one is sure about this.

What would happen if the Sun orbits the Earth?
It would ruin the solar system and might destroy the other planets because they are in the way of the suns orbiting circle and all the planets would be floating in sapce all over the place or the sun and all the other planets will have to orbit the earth and it will become the earth system-dont think it's going to happen though
Does Jupiter protect the inner planets?
Yes, Jupiter acts as a "cosmic vacuum cleaner" by attracting and absorbing many of the comets and asteroids that might otherwise collide with the inner planets like Earth. This helps reduce the frequency of impacts and protects the inner planets to some extent.
