Firstly, gravity is a force.

The strongest gravital effect would be right at the centre of the earth - the centre of its mass.

The greater one's altitude, therefore, the lesser the effect and pull of gravity - being further from the earth's centre.

Gravity does this in our atmosphere.


The earths gravity keeps the planets circling the sun?

Actually, it's the gravity of the sun that keeps the planets in orbit around it. The force of gravity between the sun and the planets causes them to be pulled towards the sun, while their momentum keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path.


What does gravity have to do with the motion of the planets?

The gravitational force between planets supplies the centripetal force that causes them to orbit each other.

Gravity. Specifically, the gravity of the Sun.


Is gravity the reason that the planets stay in orbits around the sun?

Yes, the gravity of the sun causes all celestial bodies to orbit around.


What is the difference between a planet's orbit and gravitational pull?

A planets gravitational pull is the force it exerts on other objects. The planets orbit is the path it takes due to gravity. Basically gravity causes the orbit.


Which force affects the motion of planets?

The motion of the planets are governed by a number of factors: Gravity - The planets are being pulled towards the Sun in free fall. The velocity of the planets - This balances against the force of gravity opposing it and producing on balance the orbit. The mass of the planets. The effect of gravitational attraction between the planet and any satellites it has. The effect of gravitational attraction between the planets and other planets/dwarf planets etc.
