The correct response is the planets' speed as they orbit the sun. The balance between the gravitational pull of the Sun and the forward motion (orbital velocity) of the planets prevents them from being pulled directly into the Sun, allowing them to maintain their orbits.
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 planets' speed as they orbit the sun the planets' speed as they orbit the sun the large distance of the planets from the sun the large distance of the planets from the sun the sun's weak gravity
