Hello Akelsie6624, relate Newton's laws of gravity and motion to the orbit of the planets areNewton’s First Law of Motion states that a body in motion keeps the same
motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Likewise, if it is not
moving, it remains that way unless a force acts on it. Any moving object
in space will travel in a straight line at the same speed forever,
planets included. The planets would be moving in straight lines, but the
sun’s gravity pulls them toward it. The force of gravity causes the
moving planets to travel in roughly circular orbits around the sun. They
have been circling the sun for billions of years because other forces
have been too weak to change the orbits in any significant way.
The first law is that everything moves in a straight line if it is not being influenced by the exertion of force by another object. We know that planets orbit the sun, and the sun is exerting the force of gravity on the planets that orbit it. For the second law, F=MA, we know that every object will continue to go in motion is there is no force acting upon it. Once again, the sun is this force, and if there was no sun, the Earth and other planets would just fling off into space until pulled into orbit by another celestial object. This last law basically dictates our definition of gravity, "every action has an equal or opposite reaction." The force that the Sun exerts on the planets is equally exerted on the sun, and that's entirely what creates the orbit today. Hope this helps!
