What do you know about the solar system?

that all the planets orbit around the sun, and that orbit's are not circular.


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.


Which direction is Mercury?

It can be any direction. All the planets orbit the sun, so it movies.


Do planets move around the sun in the opposite direction then the sun turns?

No, planets in our solar system all orbit the Sun in the same counterclockwise direction as the Sun rotates on its axis.


Do The planets maintain circular orbits around the Sun?

The orbit of the planets in our Solar system are not perfectly circular, but eliptical. Each planet also has its own unique orbit, no two planets share an identical orbit. Because of the elliptical (oval) orbit of planets some get close to each other or cross the path of another planet's orbit.


Do All planets in your solar system orbit the sun in the same direction?

no


Planets do not collide into one another?

Planets around the sun in nearly circular orbit . The radii of these orbits differ widely


Are the orbit of planets circular How may their path be best described?

The orbits of planets are actually elliptical, not perfectly circular. An ellipse is a stretched-out circle. The shape of a planet's orbit can be described as an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.


How is the orbit of the earth around the sun shaped?

All planets in our solar system, including the the Earth have an elliptical orbit around our Sun. In Earth's case, the orbit is nearly circular.


How many moons do the suns have?

The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.


Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
