Question

Neptune has 14 moons. Moons usually orbit a planet or dwarf planet, though some have been observed orbiting asteroids. What role, if any, does gravity play when it comes to a body’s orbit? Explain

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

gravity plays the role of the force that keeps the moon "attached" to the body. Gravity is pulling the moon into the planet, as long as the moon has a velocity that keeps it from falling directly into the planet it will orbit
