The Sun holds more than 99 percent of the mass of the Solar System, and that vast mass is what keeps eight planets, countless asteroids and long-tailed comets sweeping around it. The same gravity that gives you weight on Earth reaches across hundreds of millions of kilometres to hold whole worlds in orbit.
In this topic you will learn what controls a planet's gravitational field strength, calculate how long light takes to cross the Solar System, and see why the Sun's gravity keeps the planets in orbit. You will also explore how orbital speed changes with distance from the Sun and use conservation of energy to explain why a comet races when it is close to the Sun.

What do aching feet, a falling apple, and the orbit of the Moon have in common? Each is caused by the gravitational force. Our feet are strained by supporting our weight—the force of Earth’s gravity on us. An apple falls from a tree because of the same force acting a few meters above Earth’s surface

Examples of gravitational orbits abound. Hundreds of artificial satellites orbit Earth together with thousands of pieces of debris. The Moon’s orbit about Earth has intrigued humans from time immemorial. The orbits of planets, asteroids, meteors, and comets about the Sun are no less interesting. If
