What is the main difference between the orbits of the inner and outer planets?
The planets revolve in elliptical orbits. The inner planets have orbits 230 million km or less from the Sun. The outer planets have orbits 775 million km or greater.
What are the planets orbits?
The planets orbits are the routes or paths that the planets follow around our sun. One orbit is one trip around the sun (one year).
Why do different planets have different length orbits?
Different planets have different orbit lengths because of their distance from the sun. Planets closer to the sun have shorter orbits, and planets farther away have longer orbits.
Why is it important to know the orbits of the planets when planning a space mission in the solar system?
Well, you don't want to send a probe to one location in space where a planet doesn't obit, it would be pointless. So knowing the orbits of the planets help you send whatever you're trying to send to the right location, and not just a random spot in space.
What orbits stars?
Mainly planets, which may have moons, but stars are also orbited by dwarf planets (like Pluto and Sedna), and space debris (like our asteroid belt).
How is earth the same as the planets?
it orbits an object in space.
Which object's gravity holds the planets in their orbits?
The sun's gravity holds the planets in their orbits. It also holds other space objects in their orbits, such as asteroids.
Meteor showers on other planets?
there are no meteor showers on other planets because they are out in space but you can still see them from other planets. There are meteor showers on other planets, but we haven't officially documented any yet. The Mars rovers have detected a few meteor streaks on Mars. Meteor showers are just trails from decaying comets that intersect Earth's orbit, so there would logically be trails that intersect other planet's orbits.
Invisible path on which planets travel in the space?
These paths are called Orbits.
If there is no Gravity in space what holds up the Planets?
There is gravity in space. Gravity is what makes orbits possible.
Is astonomy just about stars?
No. Astronomy has to do with stars, planets, comets, and everything else that has to do with space. The orbits of planets, constellations, and history of space exploration is also a part of astronomy.
Why don't planets collide when orbiting around the Sun?
They did, early in the formation of the solar system. But the planets still around today have established stable orbits far from each other. None of the major planets have orbits that intersect, but Pluto and some other small planetoids exist in "harmonic resonance" with the orbit of Neptune, the outermost major planet. And some asteroids that cross the orbits of Earth and other planets have likewise attained orbits that seldom if ever bring them close enough for a collision.
Is moon near any planets in the space?
Yes. The moon is close to the planet it orbits: Earth.
What is the main difference between the orbits of the inner and outer planets?
The planets revolve in elliptical orbits. The inner planets have orbits 230 million km or less from the Sun. The outer planets have orbits 775 million km or greater.
Where do space probes go?
Anywhere. Some go to and join the orbits of specific planets or systems, and others travel endlessly throughout space.
Does Earth cross Neptune's orbit?
No, all eight of the planets have orbits that are fairly close to circular, so none of their orbits intersect. However, Dwarf Planet Pluto has an orbit that is so elliptical that sometimes it is closer to the sun than Neptune.
What are the planets orbits?
The planets orbits are the routes or paths that the planets follow around our sun. One orbit is one trip around the sun (one year).
