What is the moon doing while earth is orbiting the sun?
while the earth is orbiting the sun the moon is orbiting the earth
What evidence did Galileo discover for the sun center model of the solar system?
Galileo discovered Jupiter's Moons. After them for a while, he realized that they orbited around the planet. He took a look at Mars and Venus and realized that they orbited around the Sun. This let him think that the Earth was orbiting the sun as well. His theory here, however, argued against Ptolemic's model thinking that the Earth was the center.
What is the motion of one object around another?
In planetary terms, when referring to the motion of planets and moons etc. the motion is describes as orbiting. Moons are on orbit around planets, while the planets are in orbit around the sun. An orbital motion.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
How many moons the planets have?
Depends on the planet itself. In our Solar System, Mercury has no moons whatsoever, and Jupiter has 63 moons, while our Earth has one good ol' moon.
What is the moon doing while earth is orbiting the sun?
while the earth is orbiting the sun the moon is orbiting the earth
Do terrestrial planets have numerous orbiting moons?
None of those in out solar system do. Of the four terrestrial planets in our solar system, two have moons. Earth has one moon while Mars has two. The Jovian planets all have numerous moons.
Who was the astronaut who experience weightlessness while orbiting the earth?

What does earth do in space?
it rotates while the moon is orbiting the earth
Why does Neptune have 13 satellites even though it is not orbited by human made objects?
Well, call me a scientist, satellites are sometimes known as ANYTHING that can orbit a rock, star or planet. So, Neptune does have eleven (or more, who knows) moons. Satellites are usually known as the man-made space telescopes, but they can be anything that orbits. Here, let me explain: Planets: Mercury, Earth, Venus... (you know) Stars: The sun Satellites: The moon, Hubble telescope, and other of Earths satellites
Does a rocket have gravity while orbiting the earth?
YEs
Do any moons spin while orbiting their home planet?
Yes, every moon spins on it's axis while it orbits. The Moon which orbits Earth spins, but because it is orbiting us at the same time we can only ever see on face of the moon. That's why there is the Dark Side of The Moon. I think you can see roughly 50.8% of the Moon's Surface on Earth.
When is a satellite fastest while orbiting earth?
At periapsis, that is, when it is closest to Earth in its orbit.

Does the moon and earth rotate?
Yes. Both rotate or "scientifically" orbit.The Moon orbits The Earth and The Earth orbits The Sun. While orbiting The Earth The Moon also turns on its axis. While orbiting The Sun The Earth also turns on its axis.
What planets have only two moons?
Earth is the only planet with one moon. Pluto use to be classified as a planet. It had only one discovered moon for a while, but astronomers have since found more moons belonging to Pluto.
