What prevents the gravity of the sun to pull all of the planets towards it?(1 point) Responses the size and shape of the planets around the sun the size and shape of the planets around the sun the sun's weak gravity the sun's weak gravity the planets' speed as they orbit the sun the planets' speed as they orbit the sun the large distance of the planets from the sun

Answer 1

The correct response is: the planets' speed as they orbit the sun.

The gravitational pull of the Sun does attract the planets towards it, but the planets have a high orbital speed that allows them to move forward while being pulled by the Sun's gravity, resulting in a stable orbit rather than a collision with the Sun.
