No, there are not moons or stars ON planet earth, but there are moons and stars around planet earth. == ==
path of planet around the sun
A force that most affects the path of a planet around the Sun is gravity.
This is called "orbit".
the answer is: the elliptical orbit of the planet
orbit.
No, by definition a body must revolve around the sun in its own path to be planet. The moon has a path around earth and the sun.
A planet revolving around a single star will always have a relatively circular or ovular path. The only time the orbit would be different would be if the planet was being pulled by the gravity of multiple stars.
The scientific name for the path of a planet around the sun is an orbit. The shape of this path can be an ellipse, with the sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse.
The path the planets take around the sun, is called a orbit.
It is very improbable that any planet that orbits any star follows a circular path. Most, if not all, planets are in elliptical orbits around their respective stars, where the star is roughly at one of the two centers of the elliptical path. This means that the distance of any planet from its star is changing throughout the planet's year.
