What is the Number of orbiting satellites on Neptune?
Neptune has 13 known moons.
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.
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.
What planets orbit Neptune?
None. Moons orbit Neptune. Planets orbit the Sun
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.
What objects orbit around the sun about not the planet?
