The mass of the planet creates a force=mg on the probe and f=ma occurs and the probe is accelerated by this force, thus changing its path.

Did your space probe look at the planets or moons atmosphere?
yes
How did Gravity Assist help the voyager space probe navigate the solar system?
By the gravity pull
Why dont planets spin off into deep space?
The gravity of the Sun (or star) keeps them in orbit.
What are the recent achievements of some space probe?
if you mean a space probe to be anything launched into space for a scientific purpose then the chandra space telescope is providing an increadible amount of information on other galaxys and bodies including finding planets around diffrent stars
What are three conditions in space that are different from those on earth?
1) space has no gravity 2) space has planets 3) space has black holes
How does a plane's gravity change the path of a space probe?
Any such change would be insignificant.
What carries a space probe in space?
As space probe is carried into space using rockets and afterward can maneuver using thrusters, sometimes gaining speed using the gravity of a planet. Once a space probe has been set on the right trajectory it does not have to do much; there is no air resistance to slow it down and gravity from the sun and planets is already taken into account.
Is a satellite a space probe?
A space probe is not the same as a satellite, because they can orbit planets and sat elites don't.
What is the name of space probe that visited outer planets?
Voyager II is the first successful space probe that reached the outer planets or Jovian Planets. It is in the rule of probes that they should not reach the outer planets because it is too far and their probes might malfunction. But this Voyager II probe had a successful flight to the outer planets.
If there is no Gravity in space what holds up the Planets?
There is gravity in space. Gravity is what makes orbits possible.
Which planets have scientists landed a space probe?
mars and venus
Did your space probe look at the planets or moons atmosphere?
yes
Why do planets have to be in space?
If they aren't in space, then where else can they be?
What is voyager in space?
voyager is a probe sent in space by NASA for exploring different planets.
What does a probe do?
they scan space looking at stars, planets, and objects or they can be used for a misson in space.
An engine with a speed that can escape earth's gravity?
space probe
What is the difference between a space probe and a space station?
A space probe goes out and observes planets while moving, and a space station stays in orbit or sooner to come on the moon
