Revolve is a much more general description, such as a wheel revolving or anything that rotates. It can be used to describe planets moving around the sun for example, but describing this as an orbit is more specific (where gravity and rotational speed is involved).

Is the moons orbit in the same 3d plane as earths orbit?

No. For one thing, a plane is, by definition, 2-dimensional. The moon's orbit is tilted about 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbit.


Do comets orbit the sun in the same direction?

The orbits of comets are much more irregular than those of planets. Probably the majority do orbit in the same direction, but it's not a sure thing.


How long does mars take to get to orbit?

It depends if it is an orbit around it's axis or an orbit around the sun. Heres the answer for both: Sun Orbit: 687 Earth Days Axis Orbit: 687 Earth Days The funny thing is that their both still the same :)


Why most of the planets move in the same direction?

Its something about their orbit, but only scientists know the exact thing


Is revolve and revolution the same thing?

No, but the two are related. An orbit is the path taken by a planet around a star (or by a satellite around a planet). A revolution is the amount of time it takes said planet or satellite to complete that orbit once. Think of revolution as time, and orbit as place.


Are space probes the same thing as satilight?

No they aren't the same. A satellite is on a defined orbit and a probe is something sent to discover planets or other space objects.

Why does the earth have to orbit the sun?

That is because if the Earth doesn't orbit the Sun, the people that are living in such countries that are pointing to the Sun will be experiencing hot weather for the rest of their lives. The same thing happens in the cold countries.


What is another word for orbit that has the same meaning as orbit?

Revolve


Is the orbit of the earth the same as the revolution of the earth?

Yes, "orbit" and "revolve around" mean the same thing. Not "rotate" though; that means "spin". The easy way to remember: Earth ROTATES on its axis (spins around) but REVOLVES around the Sun (while its rotating, of course.)


Does mercury have an unusual orbit?

all the planets have the same orbit just different orbit rings


Is earths distance the same from the sun year round?

the scary thing is that it doesent. The weirdest thing of all, is when the northern hemisphere experiences winter, thats when the earth is closest to the sun. Luckily the earth remains well withing the ''Goldilocks Zone'' the whole orbit, or else we would all be dead. The Earths orbit of more of an oval shape than anything. The most scary fact of all is that the Earth does not orbit in the same elliptic plane. As its meeting point for a full years rotation moves slightly clockwise. Meaning that we are not completing the same orbit as the people in the Egyptian Era did.
