Did the planet Mercury have a moon?
It may have captured or formed moons in the distant past, but none remain. The closeness of Mercury's orbit to the Sun would likely prevent moons from maintaining a stable orbit.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets 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.
How many days does it take europa to orbit Jupiter?
Europa takes about 4 days to orbit Jupiter. It also takes about 4 days to rotate so it's considered a synchronized orbit.
How many moons is Jupiter away from Callisto?
Callisto is the 2nd largest and 8th closest of Jupiter's known moons, with an orbit about 1.8 million km from Jupiter. It was discovered by Galileo in 1610 and is the most distant from Jupiter of the 4 large Galilean moons. Jupiter's large moons orbit rapidly compared to Earth's Moon. Callisto circles Jupiter every 16.7 Earth days.
Which five moons orbit Jupiter?
63 known moons orbit Jupiter.
A satellite whose orbit is synchronized with the rotation of the earth?
That is called a geosynchronous orbit.
What are moons?
Moons are satellites. They orbit planets.
Does the moon orbit Jupiter?
Not our (the Earth's) moon but Jupiter has lots of its own moons that orbit it.
How many moons orbit around the planet Uranus?
27 moons orbit Uranus that we know of
Is it rocks or moons that orbit aroung Saturn?
Moons
Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Moons orbit around planets. They are natural satellites that are held in orbit by the planet's gravitational pull.
