What else can I help you with?
Do planets orbit fast or slow if so which ones?
The close-in ones move fast, the far-out ones move slower. It's governed by Kepler's third law.
What are rocky metalic objects that orbit the sun?
Planets or dwarf planets, depending on their size. (The larger ones would be planets, smaller would be dwarf planets.)
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
What do we call the path that the sun and planets follow through the constellations?
The path the Sun follows through the constellations is the "Ecliptic". It's really the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. The planets in our Solar System basically move close to this same plane. At most, they can go a few degrees from the Ecliptic.
What planets orbit Neptune?
None. Moons orbit Neptune. Planets orbit the Sun
Why do the planets appear to move through the constellations instead of with the constellations as Earth rotates?
The apparent movement of planets through the constellations is due to the combined effect of Earth's orbit around the Sun and the orbit of the planets themselves. As Earth moves in its orbit, the perspective from which we view the planets changes, creating the illusion of them moving relative to the background of fixed stars in the constellations.
Are there ant planets orbiting gemni?
There may be planets orbiting stars in the constellation Gemini, but planets do not orbit whole constellations.
Why are planets not part of constellations?
Constellations are patterns of stars as seen from Earth, while planets are celestial bodies that orbit the Sun. Planets move independently of the fixed background of stars, so their positions change over time. This is why they are not fixed components of constellations.

Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
What planets can be seen in certain constellations?
The constellations of the zodiac fall on the plane of the ecliptic (the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun) and all the Sun's planets orbit also in the plane of the ecliptic. This means that ALL the planets eventually move through ALL the zodiacal constellations (as seen from Earth). It also therefore follows that the planets are never seen in the non zodiacal constellations.
What do we call the path that the sun and planets follow through the constellations?
The path the Sun follows through the constellations is the "Ecliptic". It's really the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. The planets in our Solar System basically move close to this same plane. At most, they can go a few degrees from the Ecliptic.
Is Gemini used to point to other constellations or planets?
Planets
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Do planets wander in and out of constellations?
yes, they do. The planets wander through the constellations of the zodiac, as do the moon and sun. They all travel on a very narrow path of sky called the Ecliptic - and the constellations along the ecliptic are the constellations of the zodiac. Zodiac is a Greek word that means "ring of animals".
