Who helped explain why the planets orbit the sun and moons orbit planets?

Edwin Hubble


How could newton's first law of motion explain that a force is acting between the sun and its planets?

If no force, the planets would move in a straight line, not in a orbit around the sun.


What Kepler's law conclude that the planets do not move with constant speed?

Kepler's second law (law of equal areas) concludes that planets move faster when they are closer to the sun and slower when they are farther away, meaning they do not move at a constant speed as they orbit. This law helps explain the variation in orbital velocities of planets in their elliptical paths around the sun.


Who developed the law of universal gravitation that explains the orbit of the planets?

Galileo


Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?

Planets orbit stars.


Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?

No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.


What is is the importance of newton's law of universal gravitation?

It explains why the planets remain in in orbit around the sun. Also, why moons orbit their planets. It also explains why humans remain on earth.

What natural forces and law that keeps the planets in their orbit?

Gravitational forces as described by Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation. Also important is the inertia of the planets and Newton's First Law of Motion is involved there.


How do you explain Kepler's laws of planetary motion?

Kepler's laws of planetary motion describe the orbits of planets around the sun. The first law, the Law of Ellipses, states that planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus. The second law, the Law of Equal Areas, indicates that a line segment joining a planet and the sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time, meaning planets move faster when closer to the sun. The third law, the Law of Harmonies, relates the square of a planet's orbital period to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, showing that more distant planets take longer to orbit the sun.


How many moons do the suns have?

The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.


How fast do the planets orbit the earth?

The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
