The sun is a big ball of gas that turns helium and hydrogen into a fusion reaction that turn into heat,light,and power. A planet is a ball of rock or a ball of gas that cant give off heat,light,or power. But they both have really,really,really hot cores and are in some type of a ball shape.
the sun is a star not a planet
Because the planet moves around the sun, therefore the sun can not light the entire planet at the same time, and so the different parts of the planet have different times of day and night.
Generally, a dwarf planet orbits only the sun, whereas a moon orbits a planet, which in turn orbits a sun.
Each planet moves in a different orbit, at a different average distance from the sun, and at a different speed.
the farther out a planet is the less gravity is acting on the planet by the sun
cause it is ;)
No, the sun is not known as a planet!
It is the nearest to the sun.
Because each planet is a different distance away from the sun. The farther away from the sun, the longer and wider it's orbital path is, therefore the longer it will take to complete one complete orbit around the sun.
There is no planet from the sun.
A year. Each planet in a solar system has a year of different length, equal to the time it takes for one complete orbit around its sun.
An asteroid is a rock that is far smaller than a planet or dwarf planet. They have no atmosphere. They may circle a sun or a planet.
