What Object spherical in shape orbits the sun and does not clear its own orbit of smaller debris?
A dwarf planet.
Does mars have an another planet orbiting it?
No. For one thing, a planet-like object that orbits a planet is a moon, not a planet. Mars does have two moons but they are captured asteroids, and would not be considered planets if the had their own orbits around the sun.
Why the brightest object in the night sky if it does not make its own light?
The moon is the closest heavenly body to the earth and because of its relatively high albedo it reflects a lot of the light falling on it hence it is the brightest object in the night sky. Similar reasons also apply to Venus, which is also a very bright object.
Do other planets revolve around the sun too do they have there own orbits?
They have their own orbits, around the star they formed around, just like how our planet orbits our sun.
What prokaryote can make its own food in the absense of light?
Chemosynthetic prokaryotes can make their own food in the absense of light.
Why are some stars called moons?
They aren't. Stars and moons are two different types of object. A moon is an object that orbits a planet or similar object. A star is a far more massive object that emits its own light.
Which object in the universe can make its own light energy?
nebula
Examples of illuminous objects?
Moon
Does a luminous object produce its own light?
A luminous object can reflect light off other light sources. But it can also produce its own light.
What is the difference between a planetary object and a moon?
A planetary body is a non-luminous object rounded by it's own gravity that orbits a star or a stellar remnant. A moon, or satellite, orbits a planetary body.
What do they call when an object that orbits a Star is rounded by it own gravity and has cleared the area of its orbit?
A planet
What Object spherical in shape orbits the sun and does not clear its own orbit of smaller debris?
A dwarf planet.
What is the property that describes an object's resistance to changing its motion is what?
The light hits its own motion to make its speed
Which object is capable of producing its own light?
The sun is capable of producing its own light.
Is a moon non-luminous object and not a planet?
Correct. A planet is defined as orbiting a sun. The moon orbits the Earth - so it's a satellite. It doesn't shine under its own 'power' but reflects the light of the sun shining on its surface.It is a non-luminous object
What are called the things that give off light of their own?
According to the primary level science the object which emit their own light are the luminous object.....
Luminouse objects produce what kind of light?
Luminous objects usually give out the light that they make on their own. An example of a luminous object is a star or an LED lamp.
