The Planets and GravityThe Planets and GravityThe Planets and GravityThe Planets and Gravity
Galaxies and the solar system hold together because of gravity
GravityGravity is an invisible force that pulls all objects toward one another
The gravity of the sun holds the planets in place as they revolve around it
Likewise, the gravity of a planet holds its moons in place

The moon has no atmosphere to protect it, and as a result, it has extreme temperatures and a rough surface
The moon revolves around Earth in an ellipticalelliptical orbit—an orbit shaped like an oval, not a circle
The moon orbits Earth in a little less than 28 days
The pull of the moon’s gravity creates tides on Earth

Mars, the Red Planet, is visible to the naked eye as a reddish dot in the sky
The color comes from the iron that makes up much of the planet’s core
Mars is covered with deserts, mountains, craters, and volcanoes
