What revolve around the sun on an elliptical orbit and are called Wanderers?

the planets, the word planet comes from the latin word wanderer


Do planets revolve faster around the sun in a certain location of the elliptical orbit?

Yes. The planets travel fastest at perihelion, the closest point to the sun in the orbit, and slowest at aphelion, the farthest point.


True of planetary movement in your solar system?

In our solar system, planets orbit the Sun in elliptical paths. The movements of the planets are influenced by gravity, causing them to maintain their orbit and follow predictable paths. Additionally, the planets rotate on their own axes as they revolve around the Sun.


What is the shape of a planets orbit and in which direction do all planets revolve?

Planets orbit in an elliptical shape around the Sun, with the Sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse. All planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise when viewed from above the Sun's north pole.


The planets in the solar system revolve around the sun because it has the greatest and strongest attraction?

Yes, the planets revolve around the sun due to its gravitational pull, which is the strongest force in our solar system. This pull keeps the planets in orbit around the sun, following elliptical paths.


Why do all the planets revolve around the sun?

Planets revolve around the Sun due to gravitational force, which is strongest at the center of mass of a system. The Sun's immense gravity pulls the planets towards it, causing them to orbit around it in elliptical paths. This balance of gravitational forces keeps the planets in their orbits.


Do planets revolve around earth?

No, planets orbit around the sun directly.


Does the moon revolve around earth in a circular orbit?

No, the moon's orbit is elliptical with an eccentricity of about 0.55


Does Saturn revolve around the sun?

What do you call a circular path to do with the solar system?

if you mean the imaginary line that the planets travel on it's called an 'Orbit' or 'obital path'


What makes planets revolve around the sun?

Planets revolve around the sun due to the gravitational force exerted by the sun. This force keeps the planets in orbit as they move through space, following elliptical paths. The balance between the planet's inertia and the sun's gravitational pull determines the planet's orbit around the sun.
