Which of the following provides the best reasoning for how the planets form their spherical shapes while remaining in orbit around the Sun?
|
|
The gravitational attraction of planets towards each other allows the planets to retain their shape and the gravitational pull of the Sun keeps them in orbit.
|
|
|
The gravitational pull originating from the center of the planets allows the planets to retain their shape and the gravitational pull of the Sun keeps them in orbit.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Gravity keeps planets in orbit around the stars, helping them to form and maintain their shapes. Gravity pulls everything towards the center of a celestial body, allowing planets and stars to form and maintain their spherical shapes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gravity is the force that keeps planets in orbit around the Sun. Gravity alone holds us to Earth’s surface. Planets have measurable properties, such as size, mass, density, and composition. A planet’s size and mass determines its gravitational pull.
Detailed explanation-3: -The orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci. A line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.
