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 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.

many phylogenetic trees have a single lineage at the base representing a common ancestor. a lineage that evolved early from the root and remains unbranched is called basal taxon. when two lineages stem from the same branch point, they are called sister taxa.

can i get the brainliest pls

explanation:

"menstrual cycle is a complex cycle that consists of several processes. order of occurrence of steps in menstrual cycle are as follows:

1. high progesterone levels maintain the endometrium lining of the uterus.

2. endometrium lining breaks down and low levels of estrogen stimulate the pituitary to release fsh and lh.

3. fsh and lh stimulates the follicles to develop and the oocyte to produce estrogen.

4. rising estrogen levels suppress fsh production and development of other follicles.

5. a spike in lh causes follicle to rupture.

6. a breakdown of corpus luteum causes progesterone level to drop."
