Why are the inner planets losing heat?
They are getting farther away from the sun.
What passes by the sun yet does not make a shadow?
I pass before the sun, yet make no shadow. what am I?
How do earth and other objects move in space?
The movement of the planets (inertia) moves them perpendicular to the sun at about the same rate that the gravity from the sun pulls the planets in. The gravity of the sun is a little stronger as the earth is slowly, but continuously getting closer to the sun.
Which of the planets is the outermost of the four inner terrestrial planets?
Mars is the last of the inner planets. It is the fourth planet from the Sun and right before the Asteroid belt.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
Does the sun travel around the planets or do the planets travel around the sun?
The planets travel around the sun.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets?
No. The planets orbit the Sun and the Sun orbits itself.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
How does gravity between the sun and planets control the path the planets make around the sun?
The sizes of the Sun and planets determine the strength of gravitational pull of the planets on each other and the Sun. The Sun's mass is so great that the planets can't escape from the Sun's pull and so as the planets are moving by the Sun pulls them back into orbit.
What pulls the planets to the sun?
The sun's gravity pulls the planets.
Where is the sun in relation to the planets?
The planets orbit the central sun.
