What property causes the sun to be located in the middle of our solar system?
The property that keeps the planets dancing round the Sun is that it is way more massive than any of the planets.
What does 6 of the planets in the solar system have in common?
they are all planets. they are all in the milky way galaxy. they are all in the same solar system. they all orbit the sun. hope this helps :)
Which way do the planets orbit the sun?
Just about everything in the solar system spins the same way. If we could sit high above the "north" pole of the Sun and watch (and if we could see anything!) we would see that almost everything spins counter-clockwise. All of the planets and asteroids orbit that way, and most of the planets rotate that way as well. For the few that don't, we call the rotation "retrograde". It is difficult to know for certain, but the most likely explanation is that this was the way the planetary nebula was spinning when it all came together from gravitational attraction 5+ billion years ago, before the Sun was born.
What keeps the planets from being pulled to the sun's suface by gravity?
The energy of their rotation round their orbits acts against the central force of gravity, in the same way as a ball on a string can be whirled round even though the tension in the string is pulling the ball towards the centre all the time.
Which of the following is the best reference point to describe the motion of the planets in our solar system A a space ship in orbit about earth B the centre of the Milky Way C earth D the sun?
D. The sun. All planets in our solar system orbit the sun thus it is the best reference when describing the motion of the planets within that solar system.
Why do planet revolve round the sun?
because sun is a star n planets revolve around the star not the other way round
What is the name of the special path that moves around the sun?
The Earth moves round the Sun in a path called an orbit. All the planets go round the Sun in their own orbits, that way they do not collide. For the Earth, one whole circle round the Sun takes exactly one year.
What property causes the sun to be located in the middle of our solar system?
The property that keeps the planets dancing round the Sun is that it is way more massive than any of the planets.
What is the orbit of the sun due to gravity?
The Sun orbits around the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Its orbit is due to the gravitational pull generated by the combined mass of all the stars, planets, and other celestial bodies in the galaxy. This motion takes the Sun approximately 225-250 million years to complete one orbit around the center of the Milky Way.
Why are the planets considered satellites of sun?
Planets are considered to be satellites of the Sun because they orbit around it as their primary source of gravitational attraction. The Sun's gravitational pull keeps the planets in their orbits and governs their movements throughout the solar system.
How are all of the planets kept in orbit around the sun?
all the planets stay in orbit around the sun because of the sun's gravitational pull. The high orbital speed that keeps the planets from falling all the way into the sun and since there is no friction in the vacuum of space , that speed dosen't slow down.
Why doesn't the sun orbit round us?
It's to do with the sun's mass overwhelming all of the planets' masses, including earth. The planets do make it move slightly due to gravitational effects, but the sun's mass is huge, so the effect is fairly small.Additional answerThe way the universe was formed one body or another is likely to go round some other body. Earth happens to go round the Sun and conditions here are such that life arose and eventually produced someone who asked the question.
What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?
Mercury, Venus, and Uranus orbit the Sun in a different way than the other planets. Mercury and Venus have no moons, and Uranus is tilted on its side, causing its polar regions to point towards the Sun at times.
What does 6 of the planets in the solar system have in common?
they are all planets. they are all in the milky way galaxy. they are all in the same solar system. they all orbit the sun. hope this helps :)
Which way dose Mercury orbits the sun?
Anti-clockwise when viewed from the Sun's north pole, the same way as all the other planets. Mercury's orbit is quite eccentric and elongated when compared to the other planets, however.
Does the sun have any natural satellites?
No, the sun does not have any natural satellites. Natural satellites typically orbit planets, and the sun is a star at the center of our solar system, so it does not have any objects orbiting around it in the same way planets do.
What does the sun revolve around the center of?
The Sun and its attendant planets in our Solar System, revolves round the center of the "Mikey Way" Galaxy. it takes about 200 million years to make one orbit.
