Why are most of the planets made of helium?
because so many kids have let go of their helium balloons , so the plantes just sucked in the helium from the balloons and that's why most of the plantes are made of helim :)
What was after Pluto?
Pluto, now no longer considered a planet, is part of a collection of icy objects called the Kuiper Belt, which orbit the sun beyond Neptune. Beyond the Kuiper belt are a few object scattered into extremely large orbits. The most notable of these is an object called Sedna. Beyond Sedna there may be an even larger collection of icy objects called the Oort Cloud.
The asteroid belt is located between the orbits are called?
Most of the asteroids within our solar system can be found within the Asteroid Belt. Located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, the Asteroid Belt consists of millions of individual asteroids of varying sizes - from a speck of dust to hundreds of kilometers in diameter. The largest object within the belt is a dwarf planet - Ceres - which has a mass of 9.47x1020kg and a diameter of 476.2km.
What is the shape of the orbits of most members of the solar system?
round but some rounder than others. Every object is in an orbit which is an ellipse. The planets are in orbits which look almost exactly like circles with an offset centre, but some comets and dwarf planets have orbits with a high eccentricity.
What shape are most planets' orbits around the sun in specific the earth?
ALL planetary orbits are ellipses.
Which moon orbits farthest from its planet?
The moon that orbits farthest from its planet is Calisto. Calisto is also the most heavily cratered object in the entire solar system.

What is the most famous park in Paris?
Disneyland resort paris Jardin des Plantes.
Even though orbits are ellipes what shape is a typical planet's orbits most like?
Planetry orbits are elliptical. Most planet's orbits are nearly circular apart from Mercury and Pluto.
What mathematical shape do orbits really take?
Most orbits are ellipses.
What kind of orbits do most planets have?
ALL closed gravitational orbits are ellipses.
What is the inner most?
The innermost part of an object is called its core.
What is the most velocity of a falling object can get called?
terminal velocity
What is the word for what satellites revolve around?
There are a number of appropriate words. The most general is "primary", as in "primary object"; the satellite orbits around the primary. This says nothing about what the primary object IS; a sun, a planet, a moon, or an asteroid, any of which can (and often do) have satellites.
