We are learning to: explain that gravitational force determines motions in the solar system and keeps the planets in orbit around the sun. We are looking for: explanation that *All objects in the solar system have gravity. *Sun has the greatest mass, thus has the greatest gravitational pull within our solar system. *Since planets have inertia, they do not get pulled into the sun. *Gravity keeps the planets in orbit.
What is an object’s resistance to a change in motion? A.Gravity B.Inertia C.Mass D.Friction E.I need help!
Predict what would happen if Earth stopped its forward motion around the sun? A.It will fly off into space. B.It will hit the nearest planet. C.It will get pulled into the sun. D.It will continue to revolve.
What keeps planets revolving around the sun? A.The sun’s gravitational pull. B.The planet’s mass. C.The planet’s magnetic field. D.The Sun’s inertia. E.I need help!
