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.
Which planet's orbit looks the least like a circle?
Mercury's orbit looks the least like a circle compared to other planets in our solar system. Its highly elliptical orbit is the most elongated, meaning it is more stretched out and not as round as other planets' orbits.
What is Mercury's eccentricity?
All the planets have elliptical orbits, but Mercury and Mars have the greatest eccentricity. As to why Mercury's orbit is the most eccentric may be related to its proximity to the Sun.
Which 2 planets do not have a circular orbit?
No planet's orbit is perfectly circular. They are all elipses.
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.
What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?
In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.
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
Which planet moves the most slowly in its orbit?
Of the major planets, Neptune. The speed of planets in their orbits is directly related to their distance from the sun. The farther a planet is from the Sun, the slower its orbital speed.
