Does the size of a planet has any impact on the eccentricity of a planets orbit?
No but the sizes of OTHER planets and planetesimals can and do.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
Planets orbit a star?
yes, planets do orbit a star
Do all planets orbit the moon?
No. The planets orbit the sun.
What Kepler discover about the orbits of the planets?
Kelper determined that the orbit of Mars orbit is not a circle but an ellipse.
Who determined the force that kept planets in orbit?
It was Isaac Newton who figured out that the force of gravity keeps planets in orbit around the sun.
Can electrons orbit anywhere they want like planets?
No, orbits are strictly determined.
Does the size of a planet has any impact on the eccentricity of a planets orbit?
No but the sizes of OTHER planets and planetesimals can and do.
How is the length of the year is determined?
A planets year is the time it take to make one orbit of its star.
Why planets orbit the sun in different speeds?
it is different because the size.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
How do the planets and ''dwarf planets'' differ?
Its mainly due to their size, and the fact that Dwarf Planets have not cleared their orbit of enough of the other rocks and planetoids that are also at that orbit. Pluto has not cleared its orbit of enough matter to be deemed a major planet, while all of the remaining 8 planets have.
What are rocky metalic objects that orbit the sun?
Planets or dwarf planets, depending on their size. (The larger ones would be planets, smaller would be dwarf planets.)
How slow do planets orbit?
It depends on their size, mass, distance and strength of gravity.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
