What do all the planets orbit around?
All the planets in OUR solar system orbit around the sun(which is a star). Planets in other solar systems orbit around other stars.
Do planets orbit around the sun?
YES!!! Together with their sattelites(moons). The nine planets that orbit the Sun from nearest to Sun to furthest are; - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Asteroid Belt , Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. With the exception of Mercury and Venus, which have no sattelites, all the other planets have sattelites, which partner their parent planet on there orbit around the Sun. All the planets orbits the Sun in approximately the same plane. However, there are comets and meteors which orbit the Sun in different planes, Notably Halley's Comet.
Why is planet Mercury the fastest in its orbit?
Because it is nearer to the Sun than all of the other planets. Its orbit is inside that of all of the other planets, so it shorter.
Does the other planets go around the sun?
Our nine planets orbit around the Sun. Other planets that are light-years away orbit around their suns (A sun is just a large star with planets). Hope this helped!
What is the path planets takes around the sun called?
The path is called the orbit. There are 8 planets (excluding Pluto and the other dwarf planets) with separate paths at various unique distances from the Sun.The planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (in order of increasing distance from the Sun).The path that a planet takes while traveling around the sun is called its orbit. Mercury has the fastest orbit, at 88 days. Neptune has the longest orbit, at 165 years.
Are there over 100 planets in our solar system?
No. There are eight planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) five dwarf planets and a few more dwarf planet candidates. There are other objects in orbit around our sun, but these are too small to be classed as planets.
Do planets normally orbit around a star?
Yes, they do. However, planets CAN orbit around other planets. But we don't call them planets. They're just called moons... really big moons. Did you know that Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, and Saturn's largest moon, Titan, are both bigger than Mercury? ~Apple Juice
The planet whose orbit has the largest tilt from the ecliptic plane is?
Mercury at 7 degrees. This is why Mercury is able to orbit the Sun more quickly than the other planets.
Which planets orbit the sun?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are the eight planets which orbit The Sun. 598 extrasolar planets have been discovered (thus far) which orbit other stars ("The Sun" is the proper name for our local star).All planets (and asteroids and comets) orbit the Sun.All moons orbit planets.
Which planet's orbit looks the least like a circle?
venus because the orbit is like a kind of oval and the other planets orbit looks straight
What planets are out there that's are not in your solar system?
These are planets that are in orbit around other stars, known as exosolar planets.
How many planets are orbiting Mars?
None. Mars is a planet which orbits The Sun. Planets do not orbit other planets. Mars does have two moon which orbit around it.
