What are icy leftover planetesimals orbiting the Sun is?
Icy leftover planetesimals orbiting the Sun are typically found in the outer regions of the solar system, beyond Neptune. These objects, such as Kuiper Belt objects and scattered disk objects, are remnants from the early stages of the solar system's formation and are composed primarily of ice and rock. Some of them are known as dwarf planets, such as Pluto and Eris.
What is the Number of orbiting satellites on Neptune?
Neptune has 13 known moons.
What moons orbit which planets?
Well Uranis or saturn or neptune Has 47 moons Earth has only 1
Why does Neptune have 13 satellites even though it is not orbited by human made objects?
Well, call me a scientist, satellites are sometimes known as ANYTHING that can orbit a rock, star or planet. So, Neptune does have eleven (or more, who knows) moons. Satellites are usually known as the man-made space telescopes, but they can be anything that orbits. Here, let me explain: Planets: Mercury, Earth, Venus... (you know) Stars: The sun Satellites: The moon, Hubble telescope, and other of Earths satellites
How many planets does Neptune have?
Neptune is the 8th Planet from Sun in our solar system. Now, let me rephrase your question slightly. How many moons does Neptune has? Because Neptune is a planet and can only have moons or satellites orbiting it. Answer to this question is would be 13. In other words, Neptune has 13 known moons orbiting and there could be more which are not seen by man or discovered yet.
What is makemake size?
Makemake is one of the largest known objects in the Kuiper Belt, a region in our solar system beyond Neptune. It is classified as a dwarf planet and is estimated to have a diameter of about 1,430 kilometers (888 miles), making it one of the largest objects in the Kuiper Belt.
Haumea?
A dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt, a region of icy objects beyond Neptune. It is roughly the same size as Pluto and is one of the fastest rotating large objects in our solar system. Haumea has a football-like shape and has two known moons, Namaka and Hi’iaka.
What planet is about ten times farther than the sun?
There is no known planet that is about ten times farther from the sun than the Earth is. The farthest known planet in our solar system is Neptune, which is about 30 times farther from the sun than Earth. Beyond Neptune, there is a region called the Kuiper Belt where many icy objects are located, but they are not considered planets.
Currently no human made objects are orbiting Neptune yet Neptune has eight satellites explain?
Neptune actually has 13 satellites, Naiad, Thalassa, Despina, Galatea, Larissa, Proteus, Triton, Nereid, Halimede, Sao, Laomedeia, Pasamathe, and Neso. Also, you may note that your question is incomplete, so I'll try to give a "shot in the dark" at answering your question. Though Neptune has 13 known satellites, it likely has more that are beyond the detection capabilities of modern telescopes. Out there at the edge of the Sol System, lighting isn't too good, so it's harder to find those small moons. With the exception of Triton, Neptune's moons are rather small. Triton orbits Neptune counter-clockwise, as opposed to the rest of the moons which orbit Neptune clockwise. This is because Triton is believed to have been captured earlier in the history of the Sol System. It's believed Uranus had a large collision or two that resulted in enough debris being shot into orbit to generate several relatively large moons, and provided Uranus with a ring system. Neptune isn't believed to have any such event. So Neptune's satellites (with the exception of Triton, again) are generally smaller.
What planets orbit Neptune?
None. Moons orbit Neptune. Planets orbit the Sun
What is the sun and family of oribiting planets called?
The sun and its family of orbiting planets is known as the solar system. The sun is a yellow dwarf star located at the center of the solar system, with eight known planets orbiting around it: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Pluto?
A dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt, a ring of icy objects beyond Neptune. It was discovered in 1930 and was considered the ninth planet in our solar system until 2006 when it was reclassified as a dwarf planet. Pluto is the largest known trans-Neptunian object by volume.
