None whatsoever.

All the mass of all the spacecraft ever sent into orbit totals less mass than one week's worth of meteor impacts on the Earth. Most of that mass is either still in orbit around the Earth (and so "counts" as part of the Earth for gravitational purposes) or has already crashed back to Earth anyway.

Even if we were to start moving asteroids around so that we could harvest the minerals conveniently in Earth orbit, it would have practically zero impact on the Earth, the Moon or the remainder of the solar system.

What is the effect of the planets orbiting the sun?

The planets orbiting the Sun create a gravitational balance that stabilizes the solar system. Their orbits influence various phenomena, such as tidal forces on Earth and the dynamics of asteroids and comets. Additionally, the gravitational interactions between planets can lead to changes in their orbits over long timescales, affecting climate and conditions on Earth and other celestial bodies. Overall, the planets' orbits play a crucial role in maintaining the structure and behavior of our solar system.


What other heavenly bodies revolve around the sun and how they effect earth?

There are eight major planets and several minor ones. Most of the planets have moons and there are many thousands of asteroids plus comets and other debris. With the exception of the moon none has any significant effect on the earth. Though some small meteors do collide with the earth still very few make a lasting impact. Should a larger one do so the damage could be catastrophic but the chances are very small.


How does Earth's gravity affect the planets?

The effect is very small.


Does the mass of a planets seem to effect how many moons it has?

Yes. The massive giant planets have far more moons than the less massive terrestrial planets.


What is the difference between a meteorite and an asteroid?

In theory asteroids and meteorites are made of the same basic elements; it's just that asteroids are much much bigger than meteorites. Asteroid are bigger in size an meteroites are reletively smaller than asteroids in my opinion, but meteroites can be very big to, but most of them are usually small and have no effect.

How come all of the planets are spherical?

No planet is spherical, that would imply they are completely smooth. All Planets are roughly spherical because of the process of planetary formation. That is that asteroids group together under the influence of gravity, this cluster of asteroids would have its own gravitational field, and therefore attract more asteroids. More asteroids means more gravity, which means still more asteroids. So you get this runaway effect where more and more asteroids are being drawn together while the asteroids in the middle are starting to get squashed. Once you have a big enough ball of asteroids it becomes a good estimation to say 'It's roughly spherical'. If the ball is massive enough it can even start pulling in the surrounding gasses, forming an atmosphere.


What do the outer planets affect?

They affect each other, and all the other planets, due to their gravitational attraction. In particular, Jupiter affects the "Trojan" and "Greek" asteroids, Saturn affects the "centaurs", and Neptune has a large effect on the trans-Neptunian objects.

The asteroid belt does not have an effect on the outer planets being bigger. It just has an effect on the outer planets being colder.

Which two planets experience the green house effect?

Venus and Earth are the two planets that experience the greenhouse effect. Both planets have atmospheres that trap heat from the sun, leading to high surface temperatures as a result of this warming effect.
