Can the planet Venus' go out of its orbit?
Planet Venus cannot leave its orbit by itself. A sufficiently close encounter with a object of sufficient mass will perturb its orbit. If the object is large enough and close enough, Venus (or any planet) could leave the orbit of the Sun.
What hold the planet in their on orbit?
The gravitational pull of the Sun
What happen to the planet's orbit if there is no sun?
Without the sun's gravity to hold the planets in orbit, they would no longer be bound to their current paths and would drift off into space. The absence of the sun's warmth and light would also have profound effects on the planets' atmospheres and surfaces, potentially leading to freezing temperatures and inhospitable conditions.
Why do planets have rings around it?
A planetary ring is a ring of cosmic dust and other small particles orbiting around a in a flat disc-shaped region. The generally accepted theory is that ringed planets have sufficient gravity to attract and hold a lot of space debris that is left over from the matter that originally compressed to form the sun and its planetary system. It is also possible that the debris which we now see as rings was once part of a larger satellite(s) that was broken up either by collisions with other small bodies or by the constant gravitational stress exerted by the planet around which they circulate. The debris also tends to get flattened by the rotation, so we see it as rings many miles wide but less than a mile thick.
What are the planet Saturn's gravity conditions?
Saturn's gravity is about 10.4 m/s² at its surface, which is slightly weaker than Earth's gravity. This means that objects on Saturn would weigh slightly less than on Earth. Additionally, Saturn's gravity is strong enough to hold its rings and moons in orbit around the planet.
Can the planet Venus' go out of its orbit?
Planet Venus cannot leave its orbit by itself. A sufficiently close encounter with a object of sufficient mass will perturb its orbit. If the object is large enough and close enough, Venus (or any planet) could leave the orbit of the Sun.
What hold the planet in their on orbit?
The gravitational pull of the Sun
What hold the planet in orbit around the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun because of the force of gravity that keeps them there. Without gravity they would all move in straight lines.
what forces act upon the moon as it is orbiting earth?
Gravity hold the moon in orbit

What force hold the earth inits orbit around the sun?
Gravitation.
Does mars have enough gravity to stay still?
The gravity of a planet does not hold it in place, nor does any planet stay still. The planets are in constant motion as they orbit the sun.
How do the moons of Jupiter stay in orbit around Jupiter?
Jupiter has an enormous amount of mass. Amounts of matter that large create enough gravitational pull to hold another body in its orbit (The Sun has countless objects orbiting it, but only relatively few of these objects are remarkably large). The moons don't fall into Jupiter because the forces in question are in constant "struggle." The moons are constantly trying to move in a straight line, but the gravity pulls them in at a relatively uniform rate. These two forces keep the moons moving in a certain circular path around the planet. Since Jupiter's gravity and the amount of space around it allow for it, it has dozens of natural satellites, 3 of which are larger than our moon, one of which is slightly smaller, and the rest of which are far smaller than our Moon.
When objects are in orbit what forces hold it there?
In orbit, the force of gravity between the object and the celestial body it is orbiting keeps the object in orbit. This force creates a centripetal acceleration that balances the object's inertia, causing it to stay in a stable orbit.
Why do smaller planets always orbit larger planets?
Moons orbit planets, though they could sometimes be thought of as small planets. Objects are kept in orbit by the force of gravity. If something crashes into a planet and pieces of rock fly everywhere, they will be pulled together by the gravity of the planet and will start to orbit it. If an asteroid or large rock in space gets too near a planet, the planet's gravity will sometimes 'capture' it and keep the asteroid in orbit. ______________ Our moon orbits the earth in an elliptical orbit (almost all orbits in the solar system are elliptical). The interesting thing that may provide a satisfying answer to your interesting question is that objects really orbit each other; it is not a matter of one of the objects doing the orbiting all by itself. If you and a friend hold the ends of a rope and then begin to move in circles, you will find that you each will move in a circle, not just one of you. The one with the more mass will move in a smaller circle, but if you are identical, your movements will be the same. The earth and the moon each have mass, so each pulls on the other. Earth and moon orbit around the center of gravity of the earth/moon system. This center of gravity happens to be within the body of the earth, but it is not at earth's center. Two objects of the same mass will swirl around each other with their center of gravity half way between them. There are even systems of double stars that are in orbit around each other in this way.
Why do planets have rings around it?
A planetary ring is a ring of cosmic dust and other small particles orbiting around a in a flat disc-shaped region. The generally accepted theory is that ringed planets have sufficient gravity to attract and hold a lot of space debris that is left over from the matter that originally compressed to form the sun and its planetary system. It is also possible that the debris which we now see as rings was once part of a larger satellite(s) that was broken up either by collisions with other small bodies or by the constant gravitational stress exerted by the planet around which they circulate. The debris also tends to get flattened by the rotation, so we see it as rings many miles wide but less than a mile thick.
