Neptune stays in orbit around the Sun due to the gravitational pull between the two bodies. The Sun's gravity keeps Neptune in its orbit, just as it does for all the other planets in the solar system. This balance between the Sun's gravitational pull and Neptune's orbital speed keeps it from moving away or falling into the Sun.

No, Neptune does not orbit around Uranus. Both Neptune and Uranus orbit around the Sun in separate orbits.


What keeps the planets in the solar system in orbit around the sun?

The Sun's strong gravity keeps all the planets in orbit around it.


How does Neptune gravity keep Neptune in motion?

No force is necessary to keep a moving object in motion. But if you want it tofollow a curve, such as for example a closed orbit, then that takes force. Theforce that keeps Neptune in its closed orbit is the same force that keeps everyplanet, moon, comet, and asteroid in its own closed orbit around its own centralbody. It's the force of gravity.

What planet lies before Neptune?

In the traditional diagram of the Solar System Uranus is before Neptune. In reality, the planets are not in a line but at different points around the Sun as they orbit it, so it is the path of Uranus's orbit that lies before Neptune.


How miles is the orbit of Neptune?

Neptune orbits the sun at around 4.5 million kilometers. Neptune follows an elliptical orbit around the sun so its orbital distance varies.
