What causes Saturn's rings orbit Saturn?
Orbits are caused by the force of gravity combined with the speed of the object in the orbit. Saturn's rings consist of millions of small rocks in orbit round Saturn.
Can an object stay in orbit around Saturn somewhere else besides the rings?
Can an object stay in orbit around Saturn somewhere else besides the rings
How many earth days does it take to orbit Saturn?
The sun does not orbit Saturn. Saturn orbits the sun.
What keeps objects in orbit in our solar system?
Gravity combined with the object's "sideways" (tangential to its orbit) motion. The Sun "wants" to pull the object towards it and the object "wants" to fly of into space. When these two things are balanced the object is in a stable orbit.
How long does it take Saturn to circle the sun?
The orbit of Saturn takes much longer than the orbit of Earth. How much longer? It takes Saturn 29.45 years (or 10,759 days) to orbit the Sun. Astronomers call the length of time an object takes to go around the Sun its orbital period. So the orbital period of Saturn is 29.45 years.

What is the force that keeps an object in an orbit?
Gravity is.
How many earth days does it take to orbit Saturn?
The sun does not orbit Saturn. Saturn orbits the sun.

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.
Would Saturn still be a planet without its ring?
Yes, because it orbits the sun and keeps a constant orbit.
Do the moons of Saturn orbit the Sun?
Yes, they orbit Saturn and Saturn orbits the Sun.
Why are Saturn's moons not planets?
A moon is an object that orbits a planet. A planet cannot orbit another planet.
What planet takes twenty nine earth years to orbit the sun?
Saturn takes 29.66 years to orbit the sun.
What force keeps and object in orbit?
The force that keeps an object in orbit around another object is gravity. Specifically, it is the gravitational pull between the two objects that keeps them moving in a curved path instead of flying off into space. This balance between the object's inertia and the gravitational force keeps it in orbit.
How is orbit and gravity related?
When it an object in space in moving it will keep moving at the same speed with the property of inertia. Then moon is an object that has inertia. Gravity keeps the moon from going off into outer space but inertia keeps the moon from crashing into the moon. Gravity and inertia have to be balanced in order for an object to remain in orbit.
