How many plantets in the solar system fly?
There are eight planets in the solar system that orbit around the sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
How does gravity keep the planets in order in the solar system?
Gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun. If planets were not subject to the gravitational attraction of the sun, they would fly off into interstellar space. In addition, gravity is also what holds planets together. If there were no gravity, the planets, and the sun, would disintegrate under the force of their own spin. There would be nothing left of the solar system but an expanding cloud of gas and dust.
What would happen to the solar system without the sun?
Without the sun, the solar system would lose its primary source of energy and gravitational pull. Planets and other celestial bodies would drift off into space, eventually leading to a collapse of the entire system.
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.
What keeps the planets and other solar system objects in orbit around the sun?
The force of gravity is what keeps planets and other objects in orbit around the sun, along with the angular momentum of the planets and objects. Without gravity, they would just fly away into space, and without angular momentum, they would just fall into the sun. But both of those together produce orbital motion.

What will happen to the moon and planets if gravity did not exist on the solar system?
They would fly randomly through space.
What do the sun do in the solar system?
It provides heat and light for the nine planets that orbit it. It also keeps the nine planets in orbit. If the sun were to come to an end, all of the planets would fly in straight lines right out of the solar system and may even become trapped by another star.
Do rocket ships fly into planets?
No

Why don't you fly UP out of the galaxy instead of out past the other planets wouldn't that be the fastest way out of the galaxy?
You first have to get past the planets of our solar system (which is IN our galaxy) in order to then make movements to get out of the entire Milky Way galaxy.
What would happen to our solar system if there were no gravity?
The planets would fly off into space and lose their moons and atmospheres. The sun would explode from its enormous interior pressure.
What major planets in your solar system have you sent spacecraft to?
All 8 of the planets in our solar system have been visited by spacecraft, either fly-bys, or actual landings. The dwarf planet pluto has yet to be visited, but a space probe called New Horizons is on its way and should reach Pluto in 2015.
Why would planets fly off into space with no Sun?
Yes, with no Sun, there would be no large force of gravity to hold the solar system together. Each of the planets would carry on in a straight line (more or less) rather than in an ellipse around the Sun.
What planets has NASA done a fly-by of?
As Pluto is no longer a planet - all of them.
What would happen to the solar system without the sun?
Without the sun, the solar system would lose its primary source of energy and gravitational pull. Planets and other celestial bodies would drift off into space, eventually leading to a collapse of the entire system.
Why don't planets fly off into space?
its because of the gravity coming from the sun
