What else can I help you with?
What could cause a planet to have winters and summers that last several years?
A large orbit.
Can a planet be moved?
Yes. In fact, all the planets are moving all the time. They revolve about their axes, and rotate about the sun. A heavy hit from a large space rock can cause a planet to "ring" from the impact, and a very large rock can alter a planet's orbit a bit.
What event would cause a planet to be knocked out of orbit?
A strong gravitational pull from a passing massive object or a collision with a similarly sized or larger object could knock a planet out of its orbit. This disruption in the gravitational balance can alter the planet's trajectory and potentially send it on a new path through space.
What is a large rotating body that's held in orbit by a stars gravity?
A planet is a large rotating body that is held in orbit by a star's gravity in a solar system.
What planet is not large enough to be called a planet?
The 3 attributes of a planet: 1. is in orbit around the Sun 2. is nearly round 3. has cleared its orbit
What do you call the large path a planet makes around the sun?
That is called the planet's orbit.
Which planet has a large body that orbits the Sun?
By definition all planets in the solar system orbit the Sun; also, in order to be a planet they have to be large enough to achieve their rounded shapes.
Which planet is large body and orbits the sun?
All the planets are large bodies that orbit the sun.
A large rotating body that's held in orbit by a stars gravity?
A planet
What is a large spherical body that orbits a star?
Generally a planet.An object that orbits a star can be defined as a planet.
If a nuclear explosion from space impacted on a planet could it knock it off of orbit?
Possibly, but it would have to be a large one. Radioactive fallout would be a greater concern..
What is the shape of the path of a planet around the sun called?
An eliptical orbit. In theory a planet could also have a circular orbit, but no planet that we know of has a perfectly circular orbit, although some have a nearly circular orbit.
