A few 100 miles? How far is it from the sun to the farthest away planet?

how can they predict what didnt happen. use the massive satelite they have? well they have to understand... THERES NO GOD DAMN GRAVITY IN SPACE.

actually there is gravity in space. It gives shape to the orbits of planets, the solar system and galaxies. Gravity from the sun reaches throughout the solar system, keeping planets in order.gravity from earth keeps the moon and human made satellites in orbit. Lesson over lol

there is a little gravity in space. only off the sun and planets.

little? are you kidding?, Juppiter has so much gravity that if you went there you wouldn't be able to even stand up. Compared to the earth of course.

Theres alot of gravity in space, the only reason you say there isn't is because you picture the earth and how we all stay on it, whereas in space unless your near a planet then theres no surfaces to prove how strong the gravitarional pull is. If the gravity in space is so little how does it keep the planets alligned?

the sun does

There isnt much gravity in space because gravitational pull comes from the center of a planet, space is picking up very little gravity, but is picking up as much as it can from the other planets Space is not a planet and therefore has no center to create gravity on its own every planet has sort of a force feild trapping its contents(including gravity) inside. Some of the gravity does get out and the very little that does just floats off into space. The larger the planet is the more gravitational pull there is. Pluto for instance has very little gravity because the center of the planet isn't a large quantity. Jupiter though being almost twice the size of earth has a very large center having much more pull.

I think the mayans thing is so stupid.People have never even heard of the mayans and there ****ting there pants but when you really think about it there just 5000 year old dirty tribal cavemen.They might've been mathematical or whatever but they were probably just crazy and believed in something ridiculous.As for religion i think its all bollocks created by peoples egos/thoughts but i do respect peoples beliefs in religion.

Mayans are famous. I learned about them in primary school. Now I have forgotten so much, it would be interesting to learn more again.
