No, Ceres orbits the Sun.
It is considered a dwarf planet.
Pluto's orbit DOES NOT overlap the orbit of the asteroid Ceres. But it does overlap the orbit of the planet neptune
Ceres' orbit takes 9.076 hours.
No. Ceres has a stable orbit in the asteroid belt.
Using Kepler's third law, the period (P) of an object in orbit can be calculated using the formula P^2 = a^3, where a is the semimajor axis in astronomical units (au). For Ceres with a semimajor axis of 2.77 au, the period of its orbit around the Sun is approximately 4.61 years.
4.6 years.
Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, has an orbital eccentricity of approximately 0.08. This value indicates that its orbit is slightly elliptical, but not highly elongated. Compared to other celestial bodies, this eccentricity is relatively low, meaning Ceres' orbit is close to being circular.
An apofocus is another name for an apocentre, the furthest point of an astronomical object in an elliptical orbit to its centre of attraction.
Ceres is not called a moon because it orbits the sun directly, rather than another planet. Moons typically orbit around a planet, while dwarf planets like Ceres have their own independent orbits around the sun.
Ceres follows an orbit between Mars and Jupiter, within the asteroid belt, with a period of 4.6 Earth years.
365.25 days
1 year
One year on Ceres, which is the time it takes for Ceres to complete one orbit around the Sun, is equivalent to 1,682 Earth days.
