Does the sun travel around the planets or do the planets travel around the sun?

The planets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits due to the sun's gravitational pull. This movement is known as the heliocentric model, with the sun at the center of the solar system, contrary to the geocentric model where the Earth was believed to be at the center.


WHY planets are ordered the way they are in your solar system?

My opinion is that God decided that or just the movement of the planets and how they rotate around the sun.


What is the movement of earth and the other eight planets around the sun?

The most common type of orbit is a circle but depending on the size, mass, density of that planet and the orbit of others but the orbit so far found by Astromoners and Scientists alike are all circle based.In there title don't you mean What is the movement of earth and the other eight seven planets and many dwarf planets around the sun?


Does the sun travel around the sun or do planets travel around the sun?

The planets orbit (travel) around the Sun.


How do the moons stay in orbit around the sun?

The moons are around planets, planets are around the sun. But basically the orbit is a mix of forward momentum and the the pull towards the sun, this creats an angular movement. when the planet moves forward, this angular movement is now forward momentum and gravity is still pulling it towards the sun creating a angular movement and when added together this is roughly a circle that goes all around the sun.


True of planetary movement in your solar system?

In our solar system, planets orbit the Sun in elliptical paths. The movements of the planets are influenced by gravity, causing them to maintain their orbit and follow predictable paths. Additionally, the planets rotate on their own axes as they revolve around the Sun.


How did newton's explanation of the force of gravity help scientist describe the movement of the planets around the sun?

Kepler found that the planets move in ellipses round the Sun and it was suspected that a force made them do that, because when you spin a yoyo on a string, the tension of the string keeps it going in a circle instead of flying off at a tangent (I don't know if Kepler had a yoyo or even Galileo either). When Newton came along afterwards, he invented the law of gravity and the laws of motion, and he combined them with the differential calculus (also invented by him and independently invented in Germany by Leibnitz) to show that the gravity from the Sun exactly explains the movement of the planets in ellipses.


What is responsible for the movement of planets within the solar system?

The movement of planets within the solar system is primarily due to gravitational forces exerted by the sun. The sun's gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it, while their own momentum and inertia cause them to move in their respective paths. This dynamic balance of forces results in the planets' continuous motion.


How does planets circle around the Sun?

Planets circle in an elliptical orbit around the Sun.


The movement of planets around the sun?

Planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits due to gravity. The gravitational force between the sun and the planets keeps them in their respective paths. The speed of each planet in its orbit varies based on its distance from the sun according to Kepler's laws of planetary motion.


The earth and all the planets does what around the sun?

Circle around the sun some say the sun circles the planets but it does not


How Do Planets Travel Around The Sun?

Planets travel around the Sun in elliptical orbits due to the gravitational pull of the Sun. This gravitational force keeps the planets in their respective paths, causing them to move in a continuous loop around the Sun. The speed at which a planet travels around the Sun depends on its distance from the Sun and the mass of the Sun.
