Ok so you state it is impossible that a teapot orbits the sun yes ?Ok, let's see if I understand what your saying. You are comparing the earth with a teapot orbiting the sun, and why, if the teapot could be drawn into the gravitational pull of the sun then why not the earth? Or why don't pieces from the asteroid belt fly into Jupiter? So you think size and speed has nothing to do with how objects are effected by gravitational influences?
Ok, first off pieces from the asteroid do in fact fall into Jupiter, their collective mass and speed around Jupiter keep the entire belt from being drawn into Jupiter's gravitational pull. Pieces influenced by this gravity also collide and break into smaller pieces, some through these collisions are thrown off into other directions and collide with other planets and moons in our solar system, our pock marked moon is a good example as is the Earth.
Now you utterly foolish premise comparing the Earth and a teapot, a teapot weights, humm, lets guess here, maybe less than a pound, the earth 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000, slight difference wouldn't you say, the earth orbits around the sun at 67,000 miles per hour, most satellites orbit the earth at between 17,000 and 18,000 miles an hour, can you see the difference? When you learn how orbital speed and mass are effected by gravity, then maybe you'll see howe stupid your stance really is.
Ok let me make this short. Here is a picture of all known asteroids orbiting the sun.
Quite a lot hmmm ?
Now you might think you have told us something very very superextraintelligent by stating the rather obvious fact that velocity is relevant. No you havent.
What you actually DID was to show us how much you LACK knowledge here.
Here an elementary lesson in simple 2-object orbits.
1) Teapot (mass m) orbits the sun (Mass M) at velocity v in a radius of r
2) The force of this motion is F1 = m * v^2 / r
3) That force must be equal to the suns gravitational pull F2 = G * m * M / r^2
4) If we put that together we get r = G * M / v^2
What does that say ?
It says that all your nice numbers are totally irrelevant because that FRAGGING mass of the teapot, the earth or any other nonsense is TOTALLY irrelevant for an orbit around the sun. Neither is the "size" relevant. Got that ?
Of course this gets somewhat more complicated with more objects in a solar system. Then we do have several gravitational forces at once. But that doesnt really pose a problem. It is still solvable as we can actually OBSERVE IN THIS VERY SOLAR SYSTEM.
We can even minimize all gravitational factors from other planets by choosing an axis that suits us.
Of course we never spoke about the nature of the orbit anyway. Strictly speaking for example the moon doesnt orbit the earth. It actually gets away from us.
Anyway that whole discussion is ridiculous.
Here i sit and must tell some ******** that an object can orbit the sun... thats something children learn here in elementary school.
You remind me of Fatihah. Too stubborn to see or acknowledge even the most basic mistakes. "I" should go and learn science in order to talk to someone like "you"?
You should be kidding but i fear that you actually mean that.
