What else can I help you with?
What planets suround Jupiter?
Jupiter has 63 confirmed moons in orbit around it. No planets are in orbit around it, since they would then be classed as moons. The planets in orbit either side of Jupiter are Mars and Saturn.
What would happen if the planets farther from the sun were caused to move faster as their orbit around the sun?
The orbit would increase in size (the planet would orbit farther from the sun).
Why does the sun not have a orbit?
Because it does not have too god made it that it would stay still so the planets good orbit around it
Do planets share the same orbit?
No, planets do not share the same orbit. Each planet in our solar system travels along its own distinct path around the Sun. The varying distances and speeds of planets in their orbits prevent them from sharing the same orbit.
What would happen to an object in orbit around planets if the planets force of gravity were stronger than the objects inertia?
The object would crash into the planet.
Do all planets orbit the sun?
No, not all planets orbit the sun. In our own solar system, all eight classical planets orbit the sun, but there are other planetary systems in the universe where planets may orbit different types of stars or even roam freely without a star.
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
How would the moon travel if it was not for the pull of earths gravity?
It would orbit around one of the other planets, orbit around the sun, or become part of the Asteroid or Kiper Belt.
Why are the planets called satellites of the sun?
They are natural satellites of the sun. A satellite an object that orbits another object , for a example the moon would be a natural satellite to earth. That is why planets are satellites, they orbit the sun.
Why are there no moons around moons?
Most moons orbit close enough to their planets that the planet's gravity would render any orbit around a moon unstable in the long term.
Why don't planets float around?
Planets do "float" in space due to the force of gravity, which keeps them in orbit around a star. Their movement is controlled by the balance between their forward inertia and the gravitational pull exerted by the object they are orbiting. Without gravity, planets would not maintain their stable orbits.
What happen to the planet's orbit if there is no sun?
Without the sun's gravity to hold the planets in orbit, they would no longer be bound to their current paths and would drift off into space. The absence of the sun's warmth and light would also have profound effects on the planets' atmospheres and surfaces, potentially leading to freezing temperatures and inhospitable conditions.
