Planets in our solar system travel in their own orbital paths around the Sun. What causes the planets to continuously orbit the

Sun instead of floating away into space?
A)
Not enough room is available in space for planets to float freely.


B)
The planets' magnetic poles prevent them from leaving their orbital paths.


C)
Gravitational pulls of planets' moons are too strong for planets to float away.


D)
The Sun's large mass causes it to have significant gravitational force, holding planets in their orbital paths.

The Answer is D. The sun's large mass causes it to have significant gravitational force, holding planets in their orbital paths. The moon does not effect this pull, as the sun's pull is much stronger than the moon's. The moon is responsible for the tides of the Earth, and it in fact rotates around us.

Answer:

The Sun's large mass causes it to have significant gravitational force, holding planets in their orbital paths.

Explanation:

Scientists have long established that the solar system is held together by the gravitational force of attraction between the bodies in space.

According to scientists, the magnitude of the gravitational force of attraction depends on the relative masses of the bodies. The larger the masses of the bodies the greater the gravitational force of attraction.

Hence the large mass of the sun causes it to have a large and significant gravitational pull on the planets thereby holding them in their orbital parts.

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Option (B).

Explanation:

Neurons or nerve cell are the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system. Fibers are the thread like long projection of the nerve cells.

Neurons are classified into three fibers- Group A fibers, B fibers and C fibers. The group C fibers cannot capable of doing the saltatory conduction of the nerve impulse because they are unmyelinated.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

What is a distinguishing characteristic of a saturated fatty acid
gulaghasi [49]

Answer: Single covalent bond in the long hydrocarbon chain.

Saturated fatty acids are long chains of hydrocarbon ( with single covalent bond) ending with the carboxylic group (-COOH). This means those fatty acids which possess only single bonds in their chemical structure are called as saturated fatty acids. They are densely packed, which makes them solid at room temperature.  

Example- Lauric acid ( present in coconut oil). It has 12 carbon atoms in its chemical structure.

All the nerve processes radiating out beyond the brain and spinal cord, as well as all the neurons outside the brain and spinal
abruzzese [7]

All the nerve processes radiating out beyond the brain and spinal cord, as well as all the neurons outside the brain and spinal cord, constitute the peripheral nervous system.

Spinal cord is the backbone present in the vertebrates. It is essential for the correct posture and erect body. It extends from the end of the brain till the hipbone. The spinal cord consists of total 5 types of bones called vertebrae, that are total 33 in number.

Peripheral nervous system consists of parts of nervous system outside the brain and the spinal cord. It involves cranial and spinal nerves and their roots and branches, peripheral nerves, and neuromuscular junctions.
