the sun has a gravitational pull, and this force makes the earth orbit it.
Actually, 3 planets rotate in a retrograde motion, which, by the way, means that they rotate East to West, or in a counterclockwise motion. Most planets rotate in a clockwise direction, or West to East. The three planets that rotate in a retrograde motion are Venus, Uranus and Pluto.venus
All planets orbit the sun in the direction that the sun is rotating. There are actually two planets that rotate by retrograde motion and are exceptions to this rule. These planets are Venus and Uranus.
The angular momemtum of pretty much the whole solar system is in that direction. All the planets revolve that way, the sun rotates that way, and almost all of the planets rotate that way. Venus is the odd exception, and it rotates backward, but very slowly. The primordial stuff that eventually coalesced into the solar system was on average moving that way when it started, so that's the way it rotates still.
Its a theoretical point, if you threw it in the air spinning, it would rotate around this point.
The Earth orbits around the Sun is the simple answer, which is good enough for most people. However, a more accurate answer is that they both orbit the center of mass of the solar system. Because the Sun has nearly 99.9 percent of the mass of the solar system, the Earth orbits a point that's normally just outside the Sun's surface. So, the simple answer is fairly accurate.
Yes, all of the planets rotate around the sun, in the same direction but at different speeds and time periods. well planets rotate on their own axis, the correct term would be revolve. The planets revolve around the sun
Yes, all the planets in our solar system revolve and rotate.
The word revolve (to go around, as in circles) can mean to turn, spin, or rotate. (*For planets, "revolve" is used to mean orbiting around a larger body, while "rotate" is used for the spin of the body itself.)
The planets revolve around the sun. The planets rotate on their own axis.
Since the 1600s, it has been generally accepted that no planets revolve around the Earth.
They revolve around the SunThey rotate around their axis.They have cleared their orbital neighbourhood.
Mars does not rotate around the Sun. It revolves around the Sun. It takes Mars about 687 Earth days for Mars to revolve once around the Sun.Planets and moons rotate about their own axes, but they revolve around the Sun (for planets) or (for moons) other planets.
yes,yes they do
Yes all eight planets plus an additional billions of meteoroids and dust revolve around the sun; however, all planets like Earth have a set orbit and revolve around the sun. All planets also rotate on an axis.
artificial satellites are used for scientists to study planets and take pictures and learn about space. natural satellites are just pretty much there, they rotate the planets just like our planets rotate the sun. the moon is one of earth's natural satellites.
All of them. A few satellites are tidally locked to their primary (luna for example), but all the planets rotate.
The sun is standing still, it is the earth that rotates round the sun.
