Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
How many moons are in a sun?
The concept of "moons in a sun" is not scientifically defined, as suns (like our Sun) are stars and do not contain moons. Moons orbit planets, while stars are at the center of solar systems. In our solar system, there are eight planets, each potentially having its own moons, but the Sun itself has no moons.
Do planets and moons have stars?
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
Does the sun have any moons or rings?
A moon by definition has to orbit a planet - and the Sun is a star, not a planet. Also it has no rings.
Do moons and asteroids orbit the sun?
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
Why do the gas planets have many moons?
The gas planets are much more massive than the terrestrial planets and therefore have stronger gravity. It is believed that as they formed many of their moons formed around them much like the planets formed around the sun. Other moons are likely captured asteroids and comets.
Does the sun have any moons?
no its doesnt have any moons. because its to hot for it but they consider the planets to be the suns moons
What are 3 distinctive characteristics of orbit of planet and moon in the solar system?
1). They orbit in the same around the sun, and as the sun. 2). Orbits of planets and their larger moons are in just about the same plane. 3). Almost all planets and moons rotate on their axes in the same direction as the planets orbit the sun.
Does the sun haves moons?
The Sun has 8 major planets orbiting it, as well as asteroids, meteoroids and comets. However, it can never have a moon because moons are objects that orbit a planet, not a star, like the sun.
Do the moons orbit around the sun?
No, moons do not orbit the sun directly; they orbit planets. As planets revolve around the sun, their moons follow elliptical paths around them. This means that while moons are indirectly influenced by the sun's gravity through their parent planets, they are primarily in orbit around those planets.
What characteristics do all moons share that are not shared by all planets?
All moons orbit around planets, whereas not all planets have moons. Moons are generally smaller in size compared to planets and lack an atmosphere. Moons also lack the ability to emit light on their own, unlike planets which may reflect light from the sun.
