What keeps planets in elliptical orbits?
Planets are kept in elliptical orbits due to the gravitational force acting between the planet and the sun. This force causes the planet to move in a curved path, resulting in an elliptical orbit. The balance between the planet's inertia and the gravitational force determines the shape of the orbit.
Who determined the force that kept planets in orbit?
It was Isaac Newton who figured out that the force of gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun.
Do moons and asteroids orbit the sun?
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
Why have the planets kept their orbits through millions of years?
Actually, they are moving away more and more. This is happening because the sun is loosing it's gravitational pull on all of us. The moon is slowly drifting away from us too. Pluto's moon is forming the dumbbell effect and might crash and create a mini big bang. This all might not happen soon, but it is happening slowly. In the very far future, the sun will either explode and create new planets, or it wilil implode and create a black hole. we won't be able to see it however because, one, we would have already floated away, or two, the sun would have to swell before it imploded or exploded. so we would have been burned to shreds. All the planets and sun are becoming farther away, but it is going too slow.
What is a sentence for centripetal?
If you mean centripetal force, I was surprised when I saw that the water was not spilled when it was swung around in a circle, but then I learned that centripetal force kept it inside.
How does Gravity affect your planets?
Our planets are kept in their orbits around our star by the force of gravity.With all due respect, I should be surprised if the principle were not the samewhere you come from.
How are planets kept in their orbits as they revolve around the sun?
All the planets stay in orbit around the sun because of the sun's gravitational pull. Now you are probably wondering why the planets don't all get sucked into the sun,well it is the high orbital speed that keeps the planets from falling all the way into the Sun and since there is no friction in the vacuum of space, that speed doesn't slow down.
How are planets kept in there orbits?
The gravitational pull of the sun keeps the planets in orbits... Although some people think it is magnetism....
What keeps planets in elliptical orbits?
Planets are kept in elliptical orbits due to the gravitational force acting between the planet and the sun. This force causes the planet to move in a curved path, resulting in an elliptical orbit. The balance between the planet's inertia and the gravitational force determines the shape of the orbit.
Which scientists determined the nature of the forces that kept the planets in their orbits?
newton
Who determined the nature of the force that kept planets in their orbits?
Isaac Newton. Strictly speaking, he said gravity was the force, but he didn't explain how it worked. Nowadays, Einstein's ideas are the best explanation we have of what gravity is.
How are planet's kept in orbit?
planets are in orbit because of the suns gravitational field chupa naman diyan Planets are kept in their orbits by gravitational forces.
What force did Newton say kept the moon and planets in orbit?
That force is gravity.
What keeps the planets from being pulled into the sun?
The planets are kept in orbit around the sun due to the gravitational force between them. This force, which is a balance between the planet's inertia and the sun's gravitational pull, keeps the planets moving in a stable path around the sun.
Did Kepler say that it was the pull of the suns gravity that kept the planets in orbit?
No. Kepler proposed that some force kept the planets in orbit, but did not know or say what that force was. It was Isaac Newton who figured out that this force is gravity.
What is the key role of Brahe in the historical development of gravitational force?
Tycho Brahe kept such accurate measurements of the nightly positions of the planets as they moved around the sky that Johannes Kepler was able to discern that their orbits were elliptical, not circular. This was a crucial component in showing that a force existed between the Sun and its planets.
Which scientist discovered that it was the pull of the suns gravitational attraction that kept the planets in their orbits?
It was Nicholas Copernicus. who discovered that the sun keeps the planets one Their orbit.
