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.
What planet do all the planets evolve around?
I am not familiar with planets evolving around any singular planet. If you are referring to orbit, the planets orbit the sun, a star, not a planet, in our solar system. Some planets have moons in their orbit.
A natural object that orbits a planet?
moon Actually, anything that orbits a planet is called a satellite. Natural examples are moons, but man-made ones are things like the telescopes sent up from earth.
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.
How long in days does it take for the moon to orbit the planet?
The Earth's moon takes 27 days to orbit the earth (lunar cycle.) The moons of Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus all have different times.
What planet do The moons of io europeganymedecallisto all orbit around?
They orbit Jupiter.
Do all moons orbit a planet?
All known moons. But in theory, there could be a moon orbiting a larger moon, if the large moon was far enough away from the planet.

What is the direction of the orbit of the earth?
If viewed from "above", from where you could see the earth's north pole and from where you would always see each planet half illuminated by the sun, all of the planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise (anticlockwise).

Why do the moons of Jupiter which are solid mass not 'suck ' the gases which make up the planet of Jupiter from the planet . The planet is after all less dense than than its moons.?
cause they stay i orbit because of jupiters gravity not there own so jupiter would suck the gas from its moons but not vice versa
What satellites orbit Venus?
No. First of all, since Venus is a planet, an object orbiting it would not be a planet; it would be a moon or satellite, not a planet. Stars do not orbit planets. Rather, planets orbit stars. The star Venus orbits is the sun. Venus does not have any moons, but some man-made satellites have orbited it at various times.
Does planet mercury have comets?
comets crash into all planets!Planets don't have comets. Planets have moons. Comets orbit the sun
Are the any moons on Venus?
There are no moons in orbit around Venus. It might help you to know there are also no moons orbiting Mercury either. Earth has only one moon, and all the other planets in our solar system have multiple moons. Even the dwarf planet Pluto has three moons.

What desribes planet?
A large amount of material that has enough gravity to pull its self into a sphere. It also needs to to have cleared all other objects from its orbit. (this excludes things like moons that orbit said planet) Finally, it needs to follow a roughly circular orbit around a star.
