Material probably isn't considered to be "falling off the sun" so much as it is being "blasted out" away from it. The sun has massive gravity pulling everything in. The violence of the plasma physics in the corona and photosphere sometimes cause particles to be "blown out" from the surface. There is actually a continuous stream of material leaving the sun all the time. We sometimes refer to it as the solar wind. And what about the corona ejections! Wow. Links to Wikipedia are provided. There are some really cool pics! And, or course, lots of information.

What holds the planets and other bodies of our solar system in orbit around the sun?

They are held by the force of gravity, specifically the gravitational pull of the Sun. Just as gravity holds people to the Earth's surface, and the Earth holds space stations in orbit, so the Sun holds the planets in their orbits. The orbital velocity of the planets (momentum) keeps them from falling into the Sun, while the Sun keeps them from flying off into space. This combination of counteracting forces also keeps the Earth its current distance from the Sun. Mercury, closer to the Sun, travels more quickly to balance the stronger pull of the Sun.


What is the important of the sun in the solar system?

It's basic. No Sun - no solar system.. That is not just a piece of word-play, what I mean is that without the Sun's gravity all the planets would just fly off into outer space, where they would freeze over and become dead.


Why planet remain in its orbit?

Planets remain in their orbit because the sun's gravity is pulling them toward the sun, while inertia is pulling them away from the sun, thus creating an ellipse around the sun resulting in an orbit.


What is the effect of the sun in water?

sand is a free draining material so it doesnot hold water. that is the reason why sand is used as a filter material on water treatment plants. NB:. immediately the sand is wet it drains off.


What structure enables a gymnast on the balance beam to maintain her balance?

Always keep your legs stiff and concentrate straight ahead of you. If you are about to fall off the beam crouch lightly, if you are still falling, jump off so that you won't get hurt by falling

Nothing. It's "easy as falling off a log," and it means just what it seems to mean -- something is just as easy as it is to fall off a round log.


What does gravity prevent the earth from doing?

It prevents the earth from spinning off in a straight line away from the sun instead of falling back into the sun.


Why does the tail always point to the sun?

They don't. They point away from the sun as the solar wind sweeps material off the surface of the comet.


Why do comets have tails at certain times?

The Sun boils off material from the comet and this is seen as a "tail".

Why sun does not attract mercury towards it?

The sun does attract Mercury towards it but mercury is moving sidways fast enough that it never hits the sun it just keeps falling around it. This is called being in orbit. If the sun stopped attracting the planets then they would all fly off in straight lines since it is the suns attraction, gravity, that keeps our solar system from flying apart.

Every time I dream about falling I suddenly wake up to my leg falling off the bed Does my mind know my leg is going to fall thus I dream of falling down a black void or is it just a coincidence?

Yes, the falling dream is your mind's response to your leg falling off the bed. The perception that the dream occurs before the leg begins to fall is a very common illusion typical of dreaming.
