In the past some planets or protoplanets did collide with each other. Indeed we believe that the Earth/Moon system was created by just such a collision. We can also see comets crashing into planets to this day.
However, the solar system is now much more stable and the major planets now orbit the Sun (because of the Sun's gravity), each following their own orbital path. Each orbital path is separated by millions of miles and while the planets' gravities do tug one on another, this is not enough to destabilize the orbits.
What else can I help you with?
Why are the dwarf planets round?
because of the gravity of the other planets around them
Why planets do not collide while revolving around the sun?
Because if they were ever going to collide they would have done it at some time in the last 3.5 billion years. Each planet has its own stable orbit which takes it round the Sun regularly at a fixed range of distances that does not overlap with other planets. The planets are understood to follow Kepler's laws in elliptical orbits, under the force of the Sun's gravity.
Is it true that- gravity holds planets in orbit because planets are attracted to each other's gravitational force?
No, gravity holds planets in orbit around the sun because the sun's gravity pulls on them. This gravitational force between the sun and planets keeps them in their respective orbits. The force between planets themselves is much smaller and mainly affects their interactions with each other rather than their orbits around the sun.
Why do the earth moon and all the other planets revolve around the sun?
The planets revolve around the sun due to the force of gravity. Gravity causes objects with mass to be attracted to each other. The sun's massive gravitational pull keeps the planets in orbit around it.
Why planets do not collide with each other although there is strong gravitational force between them?
Planets do not collide with each other because they orbit around the Sun in stable paths called orbits. These orbits are a balance between the speed of the planet and the gravitational pull of the Sun. The gravitational force between planets is not strong enough to overcome the momentum of their orbits and cause them to collide.
Why are the dwarf planets round?
because of the gravity of the other planets around them
Why don't planets collide?
Planets do not collide because of gravitational forces that keep them in stable orbits around the sun. These gravitational forces cause planets to travel in predictable paths without intersecting each other's orbits. Additionally, the vast distances between planets in our solar system help prevent collisions.
Why does earth have gravity and other planets don't?
The other planets do have gravity.
Does earth have strong or weak gravity?
Because of Earth's size, and considering it as one of the smallest planets, it has a weak gravity compared to the OTHER planets. Most planets have greater gravity because of their size. Earth has a stronger gravity compared to mars, mercury, and venus.
Why planets do not collide while revolving around the sun?
Because if they were ever going to collide they would have done it at some time in the last 3.5 billion years. Each planet has its own stable orbit which takes it round the Sun regularly at a fixed range of distances that does not overlap with other planets. The planets are understood to follow Kepler's laws in elliptical orbits, under the force of the Sun's gravity.
Why do earthquakes occur on other planets?
Because the planets still have gravity. Thing of an earthquake like a house settling. As gravity pushes down on the house, the house ever so slightly moves itself. The effect is amplified with planets; they are "settling" because of their own gravity.
Why do the planets don't fly away?
Because of Gravity or Because their gravitational pull towards the other planets or sun keeps it in one place.
Why cant planets share rings?
because if the planets were close enough to each other to be able to have a gravitational pull strong enough to share rings, the planets would ultimately collide
Why don't planets have the same orbit?
If they did then they would collide. They could merge into a larger planet or get blasted into space. In the latter case, the smaller parts would continue in individual orbits until they were attracted, by gravity, into other planets or coalesce into a new planet.
Will all of the planets collide at one point?
(well in pics) but it really wont happen because earth is like a big magnet but the gravitational pull will not let the other planets collide with the earth or (even the sun) some say !!
Are all planets affected by the sun?
All planets and other objects in the solar system orbit the Sun because of its gravity.
Is it true that- gravity holds planets in orbit because planets are attracted to each other's gravitational force?
No, gravity holds planets in orbit around the sun because the sun's gravity pulls on them. This gravitational force between the sun and planets keeps them in their respective orbits. The force between planets themselves is much smaller and mainly affects their interactions with each other rather than their orbits around the sun.
