The size of a planet's orbit depends on its distance from the star it is orbiting. Planets farther away from the star have larger orbits, while planets closer to the star have smaller orbits. The gravitational pull between the planet and the star also influences the size of the orbit.

When planets orbit a star?

When don't they? If a planet is in orbit around a star, it is in continual orbit. Orbital periods (the lengths of time it takes different planets to complete one orbit) are different from planet to planet, and are related to the distances between the planets and their stars.

A planet is in direct orbit around a central star, while a moon is in orbit around a large body (a planet) rather than in a direct orbit around a star. The moon orbits the planet, while the planet orbits the sun.
