Do planets share the same orbit?

No, planets do not share the same orbit. Each planet in our solar system travels along its own distinct path around the Sun. The varying distances and speeds of planets in their orbits prevent them from sharing the same orbit.


Why all planets are notv on the same orbit?

Because their distances are not the same from the Sun. Minus this factor, it is impossible for any planets to orbit on the same orbitation.


Does mercury have an unusual orbit?

all the planets have the same orbit just different orbit rings


All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?

False. While most comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets (counterclockwise when viewed from above Earth's North Pole), there are exceptions. Some comets have retrograde orbits, meaning they orbit in the opposite direction of the planets.


Do most asteroids orbit in the same direction as planets?

Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets


Which planet has an orbit that is not in the same plane as all the other planets?

There isn't one. They all orbit in roughly the same plane. Pluto orbits in a different plane, but that's not classed as a planet now, of course.


Do all planets take the same time to orbit the sun?

"No"


How are Saturn and earth alike?

Both are planets; both orbit the same star.


How are inner and outer planets the same?

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, while the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are the same in that they are spherical, the orbit the Sun in the same direction and they have an elliptical orbit.


Why do all the planets orbit the sun in the same directions?

It has to do with the formation of the solar system. Since all of the matter that condensed into what makes the solar system bodies was spinning in the same direction while coming together, it would have taken a drastic event to cause one of the bodies to orbit in a different direction.


How are moons and planets alike?

Most but not all larger MOONS (bodies that orbit planets, moons, or asteroids) accreted in the same way that PLANETS did, assuming a variable density and a nearly spherical shape. Very large moons such as Titan have many of the characteristics of planets: vulcanism, atmospheres, and weather. Generally speaking, moons orbit planets in the same way that planets orbit stars.


What is the movements around the sun called?

Orbit. The same goes for planets & other stars too.
