That means that Earth is considered a planet, and that there are others. The planets, from nearest to the Sun to farthest, in our Solar System, are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranos, Neptune.
Note: According to the IAU, Pluto is no longer officially considered a planet.

What planets orbit between the sun and earth?
Mercury and Venus orbit between the Sun and Earth.
What planets outside the Earth's orbit exhibit retrograde motion?
All of them, when the Earth overtakes them in its orbit.
In a geocentric theory which body do the other planets orbit?
The other planets - and all other bodies - orbit the earth.
What do planets do when they orbit the earth?
There are no planets orbiting the Earth because all eight of them orbit the Sun. But the Moon orbits the Earth, and all it does is go round and round in a rather complicated orbit which is disturbed by the Sun's gravity.
Do all the planets orbit around the earth or sun?
Only 3 planets actually orbit the earth while the rest orbit around the sun. the three are mars venus and uranus.
How is earth one of several planets to orbit the sun?
That means there are also other planets.

What exactly don't you understand? "Orbit" in this context means to move around another object, on a path that has the shape of an ellipse.
How fast do the planets orbit the earth?

In what atmosphereic layer are the planets?

What planets are inside of Earth's orbit?
You cannot have planets orbiting planets. Planets orbit suns. Only satellites orbit planets. In the case of planet Earth, the moon is the only natural satellite.

The planets that orbit between the Earth and the Sun are Mercury and Venus.
Which two planets orbit the sun not the earth?
All the planets in our solar system orbit the Sun, not the Earth.Mercury and Venus orbit between the Sun and the Earth's orbit.
What causes planets to orbit?
Planets are kept in their orbit by the suns gravity, yet their momentum keeps them from falling into the sun. (Thank goodness!) Planets orbit in the direction their star rotates, so in our solar system, all planets orbit in the direction of the star.
Are all the planets orbiting Earth?
No, all the planets, including the Earth, orbit the Sun.
Does any planet cross the earth's orbit?
There are no planets that cross the earth's orbit. Pluto (dwarf, or minor planet) and Neptune are the only planets whose orbits cross. However there are over 100 asteroids (minor planets) that cross the earth's orbit.
