the sun is a star
Pluto is a dwarf planet that orbits the Sun. It is not known to be a piece of something else.
A satellite revolves around a planet as it orbits it in space.
The temperature of a planet varies with the distance from the sun because the sun is hot and the closer something is to the sun, the hotter the object gets. The further away the planet from the sun, the colder the planet.

Yes. The Earth rotates around the Sun, and therefore it is a satellite of the Sun. Anything that rotates around something else can be cositered a satellite.
It's just the Earth. We are on the third planet from the Sun. No people have been anywhere else except the Moon.
Well, the gravity of the sun pulles the planets in. But you would probably think that the planets woukd just hit the sun. That is not true becuae the gravity of the planet keeps it away from the sun. But it can't leave the sun's gravitational pull, so it stays in orbit. If a planet or something else gets too close, it is ripped apart.
Something that circles something else, such as a moon revolving around a planet. Also, something that is dependant upon something else. Such as--> "Her life revolves around her baby."
look on something else.
Yes, and at other times it is closer.When it is closest, the planet orbiting the Sun (or any other object, orbiting anything else) is said to be in periapsis; when it is furthest away, it is in apapsis or apoapsis.
The moon is a moon, also known as a natural satellite. It is not considered a planet as it orbits a planet (Earth) rather than the sun.
