What is gravity role in our solar system?

Answer 1

If we didn't have gravity we would float in the air all planets will float away and it will not revolve and rotate properly because of gravity in the solar system the planets did not float away and the planets will float away farther and farther until it reaches other galaxies.

Answer 2

Generally, yes; the more mass, the greater the gravity. Jupiter, for example, is the largest planet in our solar system, and the surface gravity (if Jupiter had a surface!) would be about 2.3 times greater than Earth's.

On the other hand, the planet Saturn isn't very dense; it's big, but not all that much mass. Its gravity is only about 92% of Earth's!

Answer 3

It is responsible for the creation of the solar system and, once formed, for holding it together. The sun and planets formed from a cloud of dust and gases as a result of gravity. The hydrogen gas in the middle of it all got large enough and with it, the gravitational force got strong enough that atoms of hydrogen began to fuse together to form helium - thermonuclear fusion had started and the sun was born!

In the cloud orbiting the sun, small clumps of dust formed, then these were drawn to each other by gravity to form larger clumps and so on. Thus were the planets and most other objects of the solar system born.

Obviously none of this could have happened had it not been for gravity. But gravity continues to play a crucial role. It it were possible to switch gravity off, then all the bodies orbiting the sun would fly off at a tangent into outer space. They would be dispersed rather than form a system.

Answer 4

gravity is what holds the gas giants. As the gas giants are made up of gases...gravity must hold them in place or they will run off to space..that rhymes.

Answer 5

Because they formed beyond the ice line [See related question], where it was cold enough for hydrogen and other gases to condense into solid ice particles.

Answer 6

because they are big basically. In the universe the bigger an item the more gravity it has.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 7

Gravitational pull exerted by the sun upon the planets prevents the planets from zinging off into deep space. It is the glue that holds the solar system together.
