12 multiple - choice question what keeps the planets in orbit? gravitational pull of their moons gravitational pull between planets the suns massive gravitational pull the suns solar wind and earths magnetosphere
The Sun's large mass creates a strong gravitational pull that keeps the planets in our solar - system in orbit around it. The gravitational pull of moons is much smaller and mainly affects the planet they orbit, not the overall orbital motion of planets around the Sun. Gravitational pull between planets has some minor effects like perturbations but is not the main force keeping planets in orbit. The Sun's solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere are related to space weather and interactions between the Sun and Earth's magnetic field, not the orbital motion of planets.
