How can you tell someting is a planet not a moon?
The planet will orbit the sun, while moons orbit the planet.
What important property of a planet do you learn by studying its moons?
The orbit of moons reveals the mass of the planet.
How many moons orbit around the planet and describe them?
many moons
How do the orbit of planets differ from the orbit of moons?
A planet orbits a star. A moon orbits a planet or dwarf planet.
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.
What planet do The moons of io europeganymedecallisto all orbit around?
They orbit Jupiter.
How can you tell someting is a planet not a moon?

How many moons orbit around the planet Uranus?
27 moons orbit Uranus that we know of

Where are the Galilean moons located?
The Galilean moons orbit the planet Jupiter.
How many moons orbit around the planet and describe them?
many moons
What orbit has a dozens moons?
the planet that has the most amount of moons is Jupiter which has 67 moons
What is a system in which moons orbit a star?
Moons don't orbit stars; they orbit planets. If it's a moon, then it orbits a planet. If it orbits a star, then it isn't a moon, it's a planet.
How do the orbit of planets differ from the orbit of moons?
A planet orbits a star. A moon orbits a planet or dwarf planet.
Are there moons orbiting the planet Mars?
Yes. Two moons orbit the planet Mars: Phobos and Deimos.
What holds all moons to every planet in their orbits?
Gravity. As the planet rotates it's mass holds it's moons within it's orbit. The larger the planet the stronger is its gravitational pull.
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.
