Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets?
No. The planets orbit the Sun and the Sun orbits itself.
All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
All comets do not orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets. Some comets orbit in a clockwise direction, while others orbit in a counterclockwise direction.
What do the planets and the sun orbit?
the sun does not move, the planets orbit around the sun idiot.
Can planets and stars orbit around the sun?
Planets orbit the sun. Stars do not.
Where does the gravity that holds the planets in their orbits come from?
The gravity that keeps the planets in orbit is the sun's gravity, which is a product of the sun's mass.
How the moon orbit the sun?
None. This is a trick question. Moons orbit PLANETS. Planets orbit the Sun.
Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Planets
Do all planets orbit the moon?
No. The planets orbit the sun.
How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
Do moons and asteroids orbit the sun?
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
