What else can I help you with?
Can a moon be bigger than a planet?
No, a moon cannot be bigger than a planet. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets, and they are typically much smaller in size compared to the planets they orbit.
Which planet has the smaller orbit?
mercury
What is bigger than an asteroid?
lots of things are bigger than a astriod ,planets, somtimes a moon, and the biggest star in are solar system.
How does a planet's distance from the sun affect the length of its year?
the closer the smaller orbit (a year is one complete orbit) so the year is smaller
Is earth orbit smaller than Venus orbit?
No. Venus is the 2nd planet from the Sun; Earth is #3.
What is smaller a planet or a moon?
Size is not the differentiation of whether something is a planet or moon. The difference is what ir orbits. A planet orbits a star, and only a star. A moon orbits a planet. A moon is always smaller than the planet it belongs to, but some large moons are bigger than small planets. Ganymede and Titan are both larger than the planet Mercury, but are still much smaller than than planets they orbit, Jupiter and Saturn.
What planet is bigger than earth but smaller than Jupiter?
Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all larger than Earth but smaller than Jupiter.
Do bigger objects orbit closer to the than smaller objects?
No. An object of just about any size can orbit at any distance.
A Moon can be larger than a Planet?
Some moons can be bigger than some planets, but moons cannot be bigger than their own planet otherwise the planet would become the moon and the moon would become the planet due to the difference in size, mass and gravitational pull.
Is the perimeter of a planet's orbit determined by how big or small it is or how hot the sun makes the planets?
NO, the orbit of any planet or moon is determined by the size of the two objects involved (example: the Earth and the Sun) and the distance between those two objects: the closer the objects are to each other and the bigger one of the objects is, the stronger the gravitational pull ( large objects have stronger forces on other smaller objects). The orbit of a planet has nothing to do with the Sun's heat.
Why is Eris not considered a planet?
Many smaller objects cross Eris' orbit, so it does not dominate its orbital path. An object must clear its orbit of other objects to be considered a planet.
What Object spherical in shape orbits the sun and does not clear its own orbit of smaller debris?
A dwarf planet is spherical in shape and orbits the sun without clearing its orbit of smaller debris. Examples of dwarf planets are Pluto and Eris.
