Sir Isaac newton's laws are named the 'Three Laws of Universal Dynamics'.

'Universal' because it means they apply on Earth and out in the Universe. 'Dynamics' , because it means movement.

So the laws refer to movement of all objects, be it on Earth or in Space.

The Three Laws are ;_

  1. An object(mass) will remain stationary or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a force.

  2. Force is directly proportional to acceleration, or Force is directly proportional to mass. ( F = ma)

  3. To every force there is an equal and opposite force.

In the story of the apple falling on his head, he perceived not only the apple falling to the ground (gravity), but infinitessimally the ground(Earth) moved towards the apple, because the apple has gravitational attraction.

NB It has been calculated that two VLCC's (supertanker ships) when berthed along side each other, they have a gravitational force of attraction of 0.5 kg.

How are the real solar system and a model of the solar system different?

The real solar system consists of the sun, planets, moons, asteroids, and comets in actual space. A model of the solar system is a representation of the real solar system, typically smaller in scale and used for educational purposes. The real solar system is dynamic and follows the laws of physics, while a model offers a simplified version for easier understanding.
