What keep planets stay in orbit around the sun?
Planets stay in orbit around the sun due to a balance between the gravitational force pulling them towards the sun and their own momentum carrying them forward. This balance allows planets to maintain a stable orbit without being pulled into the sun or flung out into space.
Does the sun use gravity to stay in the middle of the solar system?
In a sense. The planets all orbit the sun because it contains about 99.9% of the mass of the solar system. The sun wobbles somewhat due to the gravity of the planets, but does not move very far.
What are solid objects that orbit the planets?
Solid objects that can orbit planets are called moons. Moons are natural satellites that orbit around planets in a similar way that planets orbit around stars. Moons can range in size from small rocky bodies to larger worlds with their own atmospheres.
How does the sun hold the planets in orbit?
The Sun's gravity is trying to pull the planets towards it. But the planets have their own velocities and all the Sun's gravitational attraction is needed to stop the planets moving away from the Sun. The result is that the planets orbit the Sun.
Do planets share the same orbit?
No, planets do not share the same orbit. Each planet in our solar system travels along its own distinct path around the Sun. The varying distances and speeds of planets in their orbits prevent them from sharing the same orbit.
Why planets stay in orbit as they revolve around the sun?
The planets stay in orbit because of the gravitational attraction between the individual planets and the sun. Their rotational velocity makes them stay in a stable orbit instead of spiraling into it.
The gravitational force of the sun keeps planets in its own orbit what is the name of the force?
Gravity.
What keeps the planets and sun in orbit?
The question probably means "What keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun?" The answer to that is : The Sun's gravitational attraction provides the force needed to keep the planets in orbit. This force doesn't pull the planets any closer to the Sun, but it stops the planets moving away (at a tangent to their orbits) due to their own velocities.
What keep planets stay in orbit around the sun?
Planets stay in orbit around the sun due to a balance between the gravitational force pulling them towards the sun and their own momentum carrying them forward. This balance allows planets to maintain a stable orbit without being pulled into the sun or flung out into space.
How does gravity affect the stars moon an planets?
Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the stars and the stars in orbit around the center of the galaxy. Gravity also holds the stars together against their own internal pressure.
Why do the planets do not collide?
They are in their own orbit
Does the sun use gravity to stay in the middle of the solar system?
In a sense. The planets all orbit the sun because it contains about 99.9% of the mass of the solar system. The sun wobbles somewhat due to the gravity of the planets, but does not move very far.
Does the moon orbit Jupiter?
Not our (the Earth's) moon but Jupiter has lots of its own moons that orbit it.
What keeps planets from crashing into the sun?
Gravity draws the planets toward the sun so that they are essentially in freefall, but their sideways motion relative to the pull of gravity causes them to miss the sun by the time they would have fallen into it.
Does each of the eight planets in our solar system have its own orbit?
Yes, each of the 8 major planets has its own orbit, with no asteroids or other objects in its path.
Do any planets collide in orbit?
No they each have its own orbit around the sun and they do not collide
How many steps did the eight planets take to finished around the orbit?
Planets do not take steps. Each planet has its own orbit and is is different.
