How many stars orbit the moon?
None. Stars do not orbit the moon. They are murch farther away and much larger than the moon is.
Do the stars orbit the moon?
The Moon orbits the Earth.
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
How is a moon different from a planet?
Planets orbit stars, moons orbit planets. That is the only difference.
What is a system in which moons orbit a star?
Moons don't orbit stars; they orbit planets. If it's a moon, then it orbits a planet. If it orbits a star, then it isn't a moon, it's a planet.
A planet or moon does when they move in a circular pathway around something else?
When a planet or moon moves in a circular pathway around something else, such as a star or planet, it is in orbit. The gravitational pull between the objects keeps them in motion and prevents them from floating off into space. This movement is governed by principles of celestial mechanics, particularly Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
How does gravity affect the stars moon an planets?
Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the stars and the stars in orbit around the center of the galaxy. Gravity also holds the stars together against their own internal pressure.
What else can you see in the sky besides stars and the moon?
Planets but the look like stars
What makes a planet be classified as a dwarf planet instead of a moon?
Moons orbit planets. Planets (and dwarf planets) orbit stars.
How long does the moon completes one orbit around the earth?
It takes about 27.3 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth once.
How many earth days is one revolution of the moon around the earth?
Ignoring the earth position relative to our sun, the moon takes 27 days 7 hours and 43 minutes to orbit the earth - the sidereal orbit (orbit relative to background stars). During this time, the earth has progressed around the sun a little, on its orbit around the sun. For the moon to get back to exactly the right phase, it takes a little longer, 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes in total from full moon to the next full moon. This is known as the synodic period. The moon will have made just over one orbit relative to the background stars, and will have moved round slightly to be in front of some different stars to those at the previous full moon.
How can you find the sidereal period of the moon?
The sidereal period of the Moon, which is the time it takes the Moon to complete one orbit around the Earth with respect to the distant stars, is about 27.3 days. This can be calculated by dividing the circumference of the Moon's orbit by its average orbital speed.
